Proximal means "closer to the trunk of the body than" and is usually meant on a limb, for example the femur is proximal to tibia. The bones are deep to the skin.

Distal and proximal ends of long bones?
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long bones
What are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges?
The metacarpals are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges. The carpals are proximal to the metacarpals.
What is distal to the left elbow and proximal to the wrist?
The left radius and ulna, the bones of the forearm, are distal to the left elbow and proximal to the left wrist. The radius is the larger of the two bones.
Where is the proximal tibia located?
The proximal tibia is the part of the larger of the lower leg bones located nearest the knee. The most proximal part of the tibia articulates with the femur.
Is the humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
Distal and proximal ends of long bones?
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long bones
What are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges?
The metacarpals are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges. The carpals are proximal to the metacarpals.
Where is the metatarsus?
Metatarsus bones are five long foot bones. They are distal to tarsus bones and proximal to phalanges in your foot. So bones that are proximal to your toes are metatarsus bones.
What is proximal to the tarsals?
The tibia and fibula are the bones immediately proximal to the tarsals. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower leg.
Are metacarpal bones proximal or transverse to the fingers?
The metacarpal bones are proximal to the fingers. They are closer than the fingers to the origin of the hand.
Are the metatarsals distal to the calcaneous?
No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.
Four proximal carpal bones from lateral to medial?
The four proximal carpal bones from lateral to medial are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform. Remember what anatomical position looks like when thinking about the lateral or medial location of the bones of the upper extremity.
What is distal to the left elbow and proximal to the wrist?
The left radius and ulna, the bones of the forearm, are distal to the left elbow and proximal to the left wrist. The radius is the larger of the two bones.
What is the phalanges bones common name?
Proximal and Distal
Where is the proximal tibia located?
The proximal tibia is the part of the larger of the lower leg bones located nearest the knee. The most proximal part of the tibia articulates with the femur.
What are your finger bones called?
The finger bones are called phalanges. Each finger has three phalanges - a proximal, a middle, and a distal phalanx - except for the thumb, which only has two.
Are the phalanges distal to the metatarsals?
The phalanges, or toe bones, are distal to the metatarsals. They are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
