What else can I help you with?
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
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.
The wrist is what to the fingers in respect of the elbow?
The wrist is distal to the fingers in relation to the elbow.
Are the fingers lateral to your wrist?
The fingers are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingers. In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist.
Is the elbow superior to the wrist?
Yes, the elbow is located superior to the wrist in terms of anatomical position. The elbow joint is closer to the body's midline and is considered proximal, while the wrist joint is further away from the body's midline and is considered distal.
Are fingernails proximal to the wrist?
The fingernails are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingernails.

Are fingernails proximal to the wrist?
The fingernails are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingernails.
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
What is the elbow to the wrist caudal posterior anterior or proximal?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. The wrist is distal to the elbow.
When using topographic anatomy a patient's wrist is what to the hand?
The wrist is proximal to the hand.
Examples of proximal and distal?
the thigh is proximal(closer) to the foot; moving proximally from the wrist brings you close brings you to the elbox. the fingers are distal(farther from the attachment point) to the wrist. hpethat helps good luck :)
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the hand?
nope. easy way to remember: proximal=proximity, hence closer to the body, and distal=distance, hence further away from the body. so the wrist is distal to the shoulder, and the shoulder is proximal to the wrist. make sense?
Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
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
What are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges?
The long hand bones proximal to the phalanges are the metacarpals. They articulate with the carpals of the wrist at one end and the phalanges of the fingers at the other end. There are five metacarpal bones in each hand.
