proximal
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.
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.
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.
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.
A bony prominence specifically designed for muscle and tendon attachment is known as a tuberosity.
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.
Proximal is the medical term meaning nearest the 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.
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.
'Proximal' means near to the centre of something, or, occasionally, near to a point of attachment.

The point of attachment of the grain to the flower stalk is the receptacle. The scientific term associated with the stem.
The point of attachment of the grain to the flower stalk is the receptacle. The scientific term associated with the stem.
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.
Perihelion = The point in a body's orbit closest to the sun Aphelion = The point in a body's orbit furthest from the sun
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.
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.
