The relationship is that they are both major bones of the body, and that they are formed from the sme type of bone tissuses. They are the only 2 like that in your whole body every other bone is made of different types of tissuses.

Is the kneecap proximal to the hip?
no, the knee is distal to the thigh
Is the heel posterior to the toes on the foot?
The toes are distal to the heel because they are farther away from the origin of the lower leg. To determine distal or proximal, trace the line of the limb from where it attaches to the body. A structure you reach first when tracing that line is proximal.
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Is the hand is proximal to elbow?
No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
When selecting an iv site you work distal to proximal?
distal
Is the kneecap proximal to the hip?
no, the knee is distal to the thigh

The stifle of a horse is the same as what part of the human?
The stifle of a horse is anatomically equivalent to the knee of a human - it is a hinge joint consisting of the distal femur, proximal tibia, proximal fibula and the patella (kneecap).
What is the opposite of proximal?
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."
What bone is distal to the femur?
Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
Is the patella bone proximal to the ulna bone?
No, the patella is not proximal to the ulna. The patella is the kneecap, and is on the lower extremity. The ulna is the smaller of the forearm bones. Since the structures are on different limbs, you can't use the directionals proximal and distal. However, the patella is inferior and medial to the ulna.
Is the head distal or proximal to the shoulders?
Proximal
Is the hand is proximal to elbow?
No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
