Situated next to or near the point of attachment or origin or a central point?
Proximal
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.
What is the proximal plane of the human body?
closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to a body trunk. For example, The elbow is proximal to the wrist
The origin is the distal attachment of a muscle?
Origin is typically the proximal attachment of a muscle because it is the least moveable. The distal attachment is where a muscle inserts.
What is the closest to the point of attachment in midical terms?
In medical terms, the closest point of attachment is referred to as the proximal end. This typically refers to the end of a bone or muscle that is closer to the center of the body or the point of origin.
What is the medical term meaning nearest the point of attachment?
The medical term for nearest the point of attachment is "proximal."
Near or closer to the point of attachment?
You mean the proximal point of attachment.
Close to the origin of the body part or point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk?
Proximal means nearest the point of attachment or origin.
Is the distal attachment of a muscle the origin?
Origin is typically the proximal attachment of a muscle because it is the least moveable. The distal attachment is where a muscle inserts.
What is The term meaning close to the point of attachment is?
proximal
What is the medical term meaning toward the origin of attachment to the trunk?
Proximal is the term that means closer to the origin of a limb.
What is an attachment site for the temporalis?
The proximal attachment is the temporal bone. The distal attachment is the manible. More specifically the corinoid process.
What term means furthest from the point of attachment?
proximal
What best describes the directional term proximal?
'Proximal' means near to the centre of something, or, occasionally, near to a point of attachment.
What's the definition of proximal?
Situated nearer to the center of the body or the point of attachment.
Situated next to or near the point of attachment or origin or a central point?
Proximal
What is an example of moving from the wrist toward the elbow?
it is moving in a proximal direction. a proximal direction is situated nearer to the center of the body or the point of attachment.
