Is the right ankle inferior to the right thigh?
You could phrase it that way but a better descriptive term when talking about the extremities (i.e. arms and legs) is that the ankle is distal to the thigh.
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.
What anatomical direction is distal?
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
Is the kneecap proximal to the hip?
no, the knee is distal to the thigh
What is the lateral ankle prejection called?
The lateral malleolus is the lateral projection from the distal fibula. This projection is the bump at the outside of your ankle.
Is the right ankle inferior to the right thigh?

Is the ankle proximal or distal to the hip?
Distal
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 femur distal to the tarsals?
The femur is proximal to the tarsals (ankle bones). The femur is the thighbone.
Is the knee is distal to the ankle?
The toes are distal to the ankle. They are farther away from the origin of the lower leg.
Is the foot proximal to the thigh?
No, the foot is distal to the thigh. "Proximal" refers to a position closer to the center of the body, while "distal" refers to a position farther away from the center.
What direction is the ankle to the knee?
The ankle is distal to the knee.
Are the toes distal to the knee?
It is proximal as the knee is closer to the median / midline of the body than the foot. The foot is distal. Distal suggests a structure being further away from the median plane or the root of the limb than another structure in the limb. Proximal refers to a structure being closer to the median plane or root of the limb than another structure in the limb
Is the ankle distal to knee?
yes
What anatomical direction is distal?
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
Joint connecting foot and leg?
The talocrural joint connects the foot with the leg. The bones that make up this joint are the talus, distal fibula, and distal tibia.
Is the leg distal to the thigh?
No. It is part of the leg. The thigh is proximal to the hip and superior to the knee.
