What is the proximal medial aspect of the proximal phalanx of the toe?
Proximal means closer to the origin of the limb or finger. Medial means the inside aspect, closer to the midline. So the proximal medial aspect of the proximal phalanx is the "inside" edge of the first bone of the toe, closer to the beginning of the toe than to the end.
In Western anatomical position what is the location of the distal ulna?
The ulna is located on the medial side of forearm, just proximal of the wrist.
What makes a joint a distal interphalangeal joint?
A distal interphalangeal joint is the articulation of the medial and distal phalanges. In contrast, a proximal interphalangeal joint is the articulation of the proximal and medial phalanges.
Menisci refer to?
Menisci (including the medial meniscus and the lateral meniscus) are the cartilaginous components in the knee - between the proximal tibia and the distal portion of the femur.
Which term is misspelled proximal medial vertebral thoracic?
all are spelled correctly

How would you describe the flow of blood from the heart to the right thumb and back to the heart using the terms proximal distal medial and lateral?
The blood moves in a lateral direction to the distal right thumb. Then the blood comes back in a proximal direction toward the medial body, where the heart is located.

Is knee is medial to metatarsal?
The knee is proximal or superior to the metatarsals. It can't be described is medial or lateral to the metatarsals.
What is a surface landmark on the hand?
If you pronate your hand from anatomical position, you can see metacarpals one through five. the Trapezium is proximal to the first metacarpal as is the trapezoid to the second. The capitate is the most medial of the carpals and the largest. The hamate is proximal to the fourth and fifth metacarpals and lateral to the capitate. But if you supinate your hand back to anatomical position the hamate is more medial. Hint: the first metacarpal is in reference to the thumb.
Menisci refer to?
Menisci (including the medial meniscus and the lateral meniscus) are the cartilaginous components in the knee - between the proximal tibia and the distal portion of the femur.
