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?
What else can I help you with?
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 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
Which of the following describes the position of the elbow with respect to the wrist and shoulder?
The elbow is distal to the shoulder but proximal to the wrist
What does proximal mean in cna term?
The closest position. ex: the elbow is proximal to the shoulder. The wrist is distal to the shoulder.
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the hand?
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?
Is the wrist considered distal to the shoulder?
Distal is away from the center of body trunk or point of attachment. The wrist is farther away from center of body trunk. Proximal is closest to the body central axis or point of attachment, so the shoulder is proximal.
Is the wrist proximal to the fingers?
Yes, the wrist is proximal to the fingers. Proximal means closer to the body's center or point of attachment, while distal means farther away. In this case, the wrist is closer to the body's center compared to the fingers.
Examples of proximal and distal?
the thigh is proximal(closer) to the foot; moving proximally from the wrist brings you close brings you to the elbox. the fingers are distal(farther from the attachment point) to the wrist. hpethat helps good luck :)
Are fingernails proximal to the wrist?
The fingernails are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingernails.
What is the elbow to the wrist caudal posterior anterior or proximal?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. The wrist is distal to the elbow.
When using topographic anatomy a patient's wrist is what to the hand?
The wrist is proximal to the hand.
Is the carpus proximal to the brachium?
The carpus is not proximal to the brachium. The carpus is actually distal to the brachium. The carpal region is the wrist.
