The alveoli and bronchi are both parts of the respiratory tree. The main parts of this structure, in the order of air passing through during inspiration are: trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. The alveoli are distal to the bronchi, because they are farther away from the center of the body then the bronchi.
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
In bronchiectasis, the dilation of the bronchial tree occurs distal to the obstruction. The obstruction can lead to persistent infection and inflammation, causing irreversible damage and widening of the bronchi.
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
Proximal
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
Distal
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
No, electrical activity in the heart moves from proximal to distal.
proximal ?
No. Proximal means closer to the body. Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
