What else can I help you with?
Close to the origin of the body part or point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk?
This term refers to anatomical structures that are located near the center of the body or the point where a limb attaches to the trunk. It is often used to describe the position of organs, bones, muscles, or other body parts.
Is Proximal means farther from the origin of a body part?
No, "proximal" refers to a position closer to the origin of a body part or the point of attachment. The term is commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of structures relative to other body parts or points of reference.
Region of the tailbone?
The tailbone is located at the bottom of the spine, specifically at the end of the sacrum. It is composed of three to five fused vertebrae and serves as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments. Its medical term is the coccyx.
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.
Which term describes a normal projection on the surface of a bone that serves as an attachment for muscles and tendons?
A bony prominence specifically designed for muscle and tendon attachment is known as a tuberosity.
What term means nearest the point of attachment or origin?
The term that means nearest the point of attachment or origin is "proximal." This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of structures relative to the trunk of the body or the point of attachment of a limb. For example, the shoulder is proximal to the elbow.
What is the medical term meaning nearest the point of attachment?
Proximal is the medical term meaning nearest the point of attachment.
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.
The term that means away from the point of attachment or orign is?
Distal means away from the point of attachement (in A and P) Makin the opposite of this, which means closest to the point of attchement (in regards to A and P) is Proximal.
What best describes the directional term proximal?
'Proximal' means near to the centre of something, or, occasionally, near to a point of attachment.
What is The term meaning close to the point of attachment is?

What is the point of attachment of grain to the flower stalk?

What is the point of attachment of the grain to the flower stalk?
The point of attachment of the grain to the flower stalk is the receptacle. The scientific term associated with the stem.
What is the name of the point when a spacecraft is furthest from the moon?
The extreme points of an orbit are generically called "apsis", and that's now the preferred term for all bodies. The furthest point in the orbit would be apoapsis, or for the Moon specifically, apolune, though as noted this term is now deprecated. Note that this applies only to orbits. There is no word for the furthest point of the entire journey.
What is term for the 2 points in the orbit of a satellite nearest or furthest from the sun?
Perihelion = The point in a body's orbit closest to the sun Aphelion = The point in a body's orbit furthest from the sun
Situated next to or near the point of attachment or origin or a central point?
The term you're referring to is "proximal." This anatomical term describes a position closer to the point of attachment or origin of a body part, or closer to the center of the body. For example, in the arm, the shoulder is proximal to the elbow.
Is the thorax distal to the abdomen?
No, the thorax is proximal to the abdomen. The term "distal" refers to a structure that is farther away from the point of attachment, while "proximal" refers to being closer to the point of attachment.
