supination
In the anatomical position of the hand the palm is facing forward. The thumb is placed in contact with the index finger. You can see the picture of the anatomical position. It is better to see than describe the same.
In the anatomical position of the hand the palm faces to anterior side. Because you use your palm as you flex it. You do not use the dorsal aspect of the hand normally. So in the anatomical position the palm faces on the anterior side. That way the thumb comes on lateral side to the fingers.
To go from the anatomical position to holding a handgun in front of you with both hands, you primarily use the bones of the arm (humerus, radius, ulna) and hand (carpal, metacarpal, phalanges). The shoulder bones (scapula, clavicle) and chest (ribs, sternum) are also involved in stabilizing and supporting the arm during this action.
Simply stated, flexion is when the angle around a joint is decreased from it's normal position (from the anatomical position) in the SAGITTAL plane. The sagittal plane is an imaginary line that splits your body into left and right pieces. All flexion moves in this plane. Ex. Flexion of the bicep requires you to pull your forearm (decrease the angle) toward your head. That motion running along the side of your body is also in the sagittal plane
The anatomical names for the hand bones are the metacarpals (palm), proximal phalanges (closest to the hand), middle phalanges, and distal phalanges (tip of the fingers).
In the anatomical position, yes it is.
In the anatomical position, yes it is.
The proper direction to count phalanges on the right hand in anatomical position is from proximal to distal. Start with the phalanx closest to the metacarpals (proximal phalanx), then the middle phalanx, and finally the distal phalanx at the tip of the finger.

In anatomical position, the hands are indeed inferior to the xiphoid process of the sternum.
In the anatomical position of the hand the palm faces to anterior side. Because you use your palm as you flex it. You do not use the dorsal aspect of the hand normally. So in the anatomical position the palm faces on the anterior side. That way the thumb comes on lateral side to the fingers.
Please think a little more about what it is you need to know, then ask the question in way that it can be answered.

If you pronate your hand from anatomical position, you can see metacarpals one through five. the Trapezium is proximal to the first metacarpal as is the trapezoid to the second. The capitate is the most medial of the carpals and the largest. The hamate is proximal to the fourth and fifth metacarpals and lateral to the capitate. But if you supinate your hand back to anatomical position the hamate is more medial. Hint: the first metacarpal is in reference to the thumb.
The ventral or anterior aspect of the foot is located on the bottom of the foot. Think of it as the palm of the hand is the ventral/anterior part of the hand in anatomical position to help you remember.
The ribs and the hand are not on a limb together, so they cannot be described in relation to each other using "proximal" and "distal." The ribs are superior and medial to the hands in anatomical position.
