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 :)
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.
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
The shoulder is superior to the hand, it cannot be classified as distal or proximal.
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?
The pollex is the thumb and it has only 2 phalanges, the distal and the proximal. all of the other fingers have a distal, middle and proximal.
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."
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.
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
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.
Proximal
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
Distal
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
No, electrical activity in the heart moves from proximal to distal.
proximal ?
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.
