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.

The ear is distal to the eye?
The ears are lateral to the eyes. The terms "distal" and "proximal" don't apply to the face.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
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.
Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
Is the ankle proximal or distal to the hip?
Distal
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the hand?
nope. easy way to remember: proximal=proximity, hence closer to the body, and distal=distance, hence further away from the body. so the wrist is distal to the shoulder, and the shoulder is proximal to the wrist. make sense?
Are eyes distal to the chest?
The eyes are superior to the chest. "Distal" and "proximal" don't apply to the features of the face.
The ear is distal to the eye?
The ears are lateral to the eyes. The terms "distal" and "proximal" don't apply to the face.
What is the opposite of proximal?
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
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.

Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
Is the head distal or proximal to the shoulders?
Proximal
Is the hand is proximal to elbow?
No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
Is the ankle proximal or distal to the hip?
Distal
Is the foot distal or proximal to the heart?
Distal
What is the opposite of distal?
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
