The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.
Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.

The wrist is what to the fingers in respect of the elbow?
The wrist is proximal to the fingers and distal to the elbow.
The elbow is distal to the shoulder and what to the fingers?
The shoulder is superior to the hand, it cannot be classified as distal or proximal.
Is the acromial region proximal to the olecranon?
The arm, forearm, wrist, hand, and fingers are all distal to the acromial region.
Is the wrist proximal to the fingers?
distal to the wrist, because they are away from the shoulder (origin point)
Is the elbow superior to the wrist?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist
The wrist is what to the fingers in respect of the elbow?
The wrist is proximal to the fingers and distal to the elbow.
The elbow is distal to the shoulder and what to the fingers?
The shoulder is superior to the hand, it cannot be classified as distal or proximal.
Is the shoulder proximal to the elbow?
No. The elbow is distal to the shoulder. Proximal means closer to the body, whereas distal is further away.
Is hand proximal to the elbow?
No. Proximal means closer to the body. Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
Is the acromial region proximal to the olecranon?
The arm, forearm, wrist, hand, and fingers are all distal to the acromial region.
What is the elbow to the wrist caudal posterior anterior or proximal?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. The wrist is distal to the elbow.
Is the wrist proximal to the fingers?
distal to the wrist, because they are away from the shoulder (origin point)
Is the hand is proximal to elbow?
No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
Is the elbow distal or proximal to the axillary?
It's distal. Meaning the elbow is farther away from the axillary.
Is the elbow superior to the wrist?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist
Are eyes and mouth proximal or distal?
No. On the axial body (head, neck, chest and abdominal area), the features are either superior or inferior to each other. In this case the forehead is 'above' the mouth making it superior to the mouth. Proximal and distal refer to how close some thing is to the attachment of a limb. You will compare how close some thing is to that attachment compared to another. For example, your fingers are distal to your elbow. Your elbow is proximal to your fingers.
Is elbow proximal the wrist?
No. The wrist is DISTAL to the elbow. The radius and the ulna ( your forearm ) are what separates the elbow joint from the carpals, and the metacarpals, which is your wrist.
