What does the plantar surface of the distal forelimb mean in simple terms when reffering to bpm a dog?

"The plantar surface of the distal forelimb" is the simple terminology, although it is medical terminology rather than common-use English.
The plantar surface is the side of the foot where the pads are; the distal forelimb is the part of the front leg that is furthest from the shoulder.
Based upon the reference to "bpm", I am guessing you are looking for directions on palpating the pulse of the dog. You should gently slide the tips of your fingers over the hollow spot at the joint between the paw and the last long leg bone. There are two small but superficial (close to the skin) arteries there that you can measure a pulse rate from.

Where is the anterior surface of the distal end of the pancreas?
The anterior surface of the distal end of the pancreas is the middle of the stomach.
What is the surface of the tooth that faces away from the median line?
distal surface.
What covers the distal surface of the femur where it meets the tibia?
The meniscus covers the distal surface of the femur where it meets the tibia. This cartilage provides smooth movement and shock absorption.
What are plantar fascia exercises?
In younger people the plantar fascia is also intimately related to the Achilles tendon, with a continuous fascial connection between the two from the distal aspect of the Achilles to the origin of the plantar fascia at the calcaneal tubercle. However, the continuity of this connection decreases with age to a point that in the elderly there are few, if any connecting fibers.
Distal process on medial tibial surface?
The distal process on the medial tibial surface is the "medial malleolus".
What muscle tendon inserts into the distal phalanx of the thumb?
The Flexor Hallucis Longus muscle. It's role is to flex all the joints in the big toe and helps to produce plantar flexion in the foot. It's proximal attachment is the lower two-thirds of the posterior surface of the fibula.

Lower two-thirds of the anterior surface of the humerous

Distal to proximal (venous) - dorsal digital, great saphenous, external iliac, common iliac, inferior vena cava Proximal to distal (arterial) - aorta, common iliac, external iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, (trifurcation to) perneal, anterior and posterior tibial, deep plantar, dorsal digital.

What is the trochlear notch that articulates with the humerus?
The trochlea of the humerus is where your ulna joins with your humerus to create your elbow.
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
What is the ARCH of the foot?
It's the arch in a medial to lateral direction on the plantar surface of the foot(concave). The distal intertarsal joints make up the arch. The arch/bones of the arch have a primary function of providing stability across the midfoot. A bit more abstract: They also provide aid in pronation/supination OR inversion/eversion if you would rather, by maintaining stability during those motions.
