You mean the proximal point of attachment.
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.

In medical terms, the closest point of attachment is referred to as the proximal end. This typically refers to the end of a bone or muscle that is closer to the center of the body or the point of origin.
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.
No, the upper arm is proximal to the forearm. The term "distal" is used to describe structures that are further away from the body's midline or point of attachment, while "proximal" refers to structures that are closer to the body's midline or point of attachment.
Proximal is the term used to say that something is closer to the trunk of the body. Example: The elbow is proximal to the wrist.proximal
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
The origin is more proximal than the insertion for the attachment of muscles in the chicken wing. The origin is the fixed point of attachment, typically closer to the center of the body or the point of reference, while the insertion is the movable point of attachment, typically further away from the center of the body.
'Proximal' means near to the centre of something, or, occasionally, near to a point of attachment.
Origin and Insertion One of the points of attachment is the ORIGIN (typically the non-moving point of attachment). The other point of attachment is the INSERTION (typically the moving point of attachment). For example - when the brachialis muscle (located on the upper arm) contracts - it shortens the distance between the origin (on the humerus - the upper arm bone and the insertion (on the radius - the forearm bone). The humerus does not move, but the radius does move - it moves closer to the humerus.
During muscle contraction, the origin (the attachment point of the muscle that remains relatively fixed) and the insertion (the attachment point of the muscle that moves) move closer together. This results in the muscle shortening and causing movement at the joint.
Origin and Insertion One of the points of attachment is the ORIGIN (typically the non-moving point of attachment). The other point of attachment is the INSERTION (typically the moving point of attachment). For example - when the brachialis muscle (located on the upper arm) contracts - it shortens the distance between the origin (on the humerus - the upper arm bone and the insertion (on the radius - the forearm bone). The humerus does not move, but the radius does move - it moves closer to the humerus.
