No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
A more correct term would be that the hand in distal to the wrist.
The heart is SUPERIOR to the stomach...ABOVE... Distal usually only applies to the appendages, or limbs. The hand is distal to the elbow. The foot is distal to the ankle. Distal might give you partial credit for some answers but when you are dealing with the torso you will want to use SUPERIOR or INFERIOR.
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
nope. easy way to remember: proximal=proximity, hence closer to the body, and distal=distance, hence further away from the body. so the wrist is distal to the shoulder, and the shoulder is proximal to the wrist. make sense?
No. 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.

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.
The shoulder is superior to the hand, it cannot be classified as distal or proximal.
No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
The vertebrae are not distal to the arms; they are medial to the arms. The hand, wrist, and fingers are distal to the arms.
nope, no lefthand available
The distal aspect of the right clavicle is the part of the right collarbone farthest from the breastbone. The distal clavicle articulates with the acromion process of the scapula.
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
