What else can I help you with?
Is the kneecap proximal to the hip?
no, the knee is distal to the thigh
Is the heel posterior to the toes on the foot?
The toes are distal to the heel because they are farther away from the origin of the lower leg. To determine distal or proximal, trace the line of the limb from where it attaches to the body. A structure you reach first when tracing that line is proximal.
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
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.
Is the hand is proximal to elbow?
No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
What is distal to the cubitus and proximal to the carpus?
The radius bone in the forearm is distal to the cubitus (ulna) and proximal to the carpus (wrist bones).
Is the kneecap proximal to the hip?
no, the knee is distal to the thigh
Is the heel posterior to the toes on the foot?
The toes are distal to the heel because they are farther away from the origin of the lower leg. To determine distal or proximal, trace the line of the limb from where it attaches to the body. A structure you reach first when tracing that line is proximal.
The stifle of a horse is the same as what part of the human?
The stifle of a horse is anatomically equivalent to the knee of a human - it is a hinge joint consisting of the distal femur, proximal tibia, proximal fibula and the patella (kneecap).
What is the opposite of proximal?
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
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.
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
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.
Is the head distal or proximal to the shoulders?
Proximal
What is the opposite of distal?
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
Is the foot distal or proximal to the heart?
Distal
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
Is electrical activity of the heart distal to proximal?
No, electrical activity in the heart moves from proximal to distal.
