Is your thumb your shortest digit?
I would say that your little toe is your shortest digit.
Is the thumb lateral digit of the hand?
In the anatomical position, yes it is.
What is the relation of length of thumb and height of the man?
There isn't one, or at least, there isn't a reliable relationship between those two things.
The term pollex refers to the?
thumb: the thick short innermost digit of the forelimb
Is your thumb a finger or not?
Ultimately this is a question of semantics and depends on precisely how you define "finger". If you want a technical term that definitely includes the thumb, use "digit" or even better "phalanges." I'm not aware of a simple word that definitely excludes the thumb. (Historically, "finger" has been inclusive of the thumb; it comes ultimately from a root word meaning "five" which only makes sense if the thumb is included.)
Are your pinky and thumb fingers?

What position is the thumb to the little finger in the anatomical position?
Human anatomists restrict opposition to when the thumb is approximated to the fifth digit (little finger) and refer to other approximations between the thumb and other digits as apposition. To anatomists, this makes sense as two intrinsic hand muscles are named for this specific movement (the opponens pollicis and opponens digiti minimi respectively).Moving a limb back to its neutral position is called reposition and a rotary movement is referred to as circumduction.
Which metacarpal is proximal to the little finger?
The fifth metacarpal articulates proximally with the little finger. The fifth proximal phalanx meets the fifth metacarpal at the knuckle of the pinkie finger.
Which is medial the pollux or the 5th metacarpal?
The pollux, or thumb, is lateral to the fifth metacarpal in anatomical position. The pinkie is medial to the thumb.
Is the thumb the lateral digit of a hand?
If standing in anatomical position with palms facing out, the thumb is the lateral digit of the hand, as lateral means "away from midline" vs. medial, which would be toward the midline of the body.
