Is the kneecap proximal to the hip?
no, the knee is distal to the thigh

You could phrase it that way but a better descriptive term when talking about the extremities (i.e. arms and legs) is that the ankle is distal to the thigh.
What anatomical direction is distal?
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.

Is the leg distal to the thigh?
No. It is part of the leg. The thigh is proximal to the hip and superior to the knee.

Where does the end of the thigh bone join with the kneecap?
The distal end of the femur joins with the patella.
Are the toes distal to the knee?
It is proximal as the knee is closer to the median / midline of the body than the foot. The foot is distal. Distal suggests a structure being further away from the median plane or the root of the limb than another structure in the limb. Proximal refers to a structure being closer to the median plane or root of the limb than another structure in the limb
Is the right ankle inferior to the right thigh?
You could phrase it that way but a better descriptive term when talking about the extremities (i.e. arms and legs) is that the ankle is distal to the thigh.
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 :)
