The closest bone to the midline on the anterior (front) of the body is the sternum, the lower tip of the sternum is called the xyphoid process. Other than that, there really is no bone close to the midline of the body that has an end. On the back (posterior) is the vertebral column, but those bones do not have ends on them.

Lateral is a positional term that means away from the midline of the body.
Abduction is the term used to describe the action of moving a body part away from the body's midline. This movement typically occurs in the frontal plane and is the opposite of adduction, which is moving a body part closer to the body's midline.
Lateral means farthest from the midline, but in some cases, distal works as well.
The term for the end of a bone closest to the midline of the body is called the "proximal end."
