Is the toes proximal to ankle?
ANSWER: YesTo quote my textbook, Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology (2nd Edition) by Donald C. Rizzo: "Proximal means nearest the point of attachment or origin. Example: the elbow is proximal to the wrist, the knee is proximal to the ankle. Distal mean away from the point of attachment or origin. Example: the wrist is distal to the elbow, the ankle is distal to the knee."
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
What is a basal flare on a tree?
Your tree has roots. You plant the roots. They are at the bottom of the trunk. There is a place on the tree trunk where the roots leave the tree trunk. Above that point, the trunk begins getting smaller until it gets to the same size as the rest of the trunk. The basal flare is the part of the trunk where the trunk starts getting larger just before the roots start leaving the tree. If you can not see the basal flare when you plant the tree, you planted it too deep and you killed the tree.
What region of the body is located farthest from the head?
This is a minorly incorrect use of the term distal, which means farther from the trunk of the body than something else for examply the hand is distal to the forearm. However the furthes part of the body from the top of the head is the end of the toe. Normally the end of the hallux (big toe) but in many cases the second toe is longer and so it would be the end of this that is furthest.
Why is the wrist proximal to the hand?
The wrist is considered proximal to the hand because it is closer to the origin of the upper limb. In other words, if you draw a line from the trunk through the arm to its end, you hit the wrist first.
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
What is the meaning of proximal develment?
Farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk. e.g., your fingers are distal to your elbow
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 the medical term meaning farthest from center of the body or point of attachment?
Distal is the term that means farther from the attachment of a limb to the trunk or farther from the origination of a structure. For instance, the wrist is distal to the elbow.
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.
