No, the liver is not distal to the heart; it is considered to be inferior and somewhat anterior to the heart in the anatomical position. In anatomical terms, "distal" refers to a position further away from the center of the body or point of attachment, while "proximal" refers to a position closer. Therefore, the liver is proximal to many structures in the digestive system, but it is not distal relative to the heart.

Is the liver distal to the sternum?
Yes, the liver is distal to the sternum. The sternum is located in the chest, while the liver is situated in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen.
Is the stomach distal to the heart?

the heart and the liver because the heart pumps blood and the liver protects it
Why can liver cells create enzyme and heart cells cannot?
Liver cells and heart cells have different functions and gene expressions. Liver cells are capable of producing a wide variety of enzymes involved in metabolism and detoxification, while heart cells primarily focus on contracting and pumping blood. The specific genes that code for enzyme production are more actively expressed in liver cells compared to heart cells.

Distal
Is electrical activity of the heart distal to proximal?
No, electrical activity in the heart moves from proximal to distal.
What is the distal anterior wall in the heart?
Distal and anterior are adjectives that anatomists use to describe locations of various organs and tissues. Distal - meaning "far from" Anterior - meaning "in front" Thus, if we were using the top of the heart as a reference point, the distal anterior wall in the heart would be the part of the heart wall that is distal (since we said the top of the heart was our reference, it would have to be at the bottom of the heart) and anterior (which would be the front of the heart).

How does a heart attack damage the liver?
