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.
exclamation point. It should be --- Go away!
A respectful couteous wipes away wearniess.
It means apart or away. It also means to do the opposite (disloyal).
it means your hairline is fading away......
Dis means away
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
"Distal" refers to a position farther away from the point of attachment or origin. In the context of the knee, distal would refer to structures located further away from the body, such as the lower leg or foot.
Lateral is a positional term that means away from the midline of the body.
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.
Yes, the fingers are distal to the hand. In anatomical terms, "distal" means further away from the point of attachment or origin. The fingers are located at the far end of the hand.
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.
no the wrists are distal to the elbow, distal meaning further away from the point of attachment
The distal attachment point of a muscle is important for determining the range of motion and strength of movement. It is where the muscle connects to a bone further away from the center of the body. This attachment point influences the leverage and force that the muscle can exert, impacting how effectively the muscle can move and stabilize the body.
Distal is away from the center of body trunk or point of attachment. The wrist is farther away from center of body trunk. Proximal is closest to the body central axis or point of attachment, so the shoulder is proximal.
Yes, proximal means closer to the trunk (torso) while distal is away from the trunk. The statement "the knee is proximal to the foot" means the knee is closer to the torso than the foot. Conversely, the foot is distal to the knee.
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.
Distal means away from the point of reference
