Is the abdomen distal or proximal to the chest?
The abdomen is distal to the chest. The chest is located superiorly to the abdomen in anatomical position.
Is the liver distal to the sternum?

What region of abdomen lies just distal to the sternum?
umbilical
When correctly situated in anatomical position where are your feet in relation to your knees?

What is calcific density of the distal abdomen?
a dark spot on the abdomen.
What abdominal region is located in the middle of the abdomen just below the sternum?
The epigastric region is the area just distal to the sternum. it gets its name from the prefix "epi" meaning above, and the root "gastric" meaning stomach. Thus, its name literally describes its location.

Is the thorax distal to the abdomen?
No, the thorax is proximal to the abdomen. The term "distal" refers to a structure that is farther away from the point of attachment, while "proximal" refers to being closer to the point of attachment.
Is the liver distal to the heart?
No, the liver is not distal to the heart; it is considered to be inferior and somewhat anterior to the heart in the anatomical position. In anatomical terms, "distal" refers to a position further away from the center of the body or point of attachment, while "proximal" refers to a position closer. Therefore, the liver is proximal to many structures in the digestive system, but it is not distal relative to the heart.
Are the fingers distal to the hand?
Yes, the fingers are distal to the hand. In anatomical terms, "distal" means further away from the point of attachment or origin. The fingers are located at the far end of the hand.
