The heart is SUPERIOR to the stomach...ABOVE... Distal usually only applies to the appendages, or limbs. The hand is distal to the elbow. The foot is distal to the ankle. Distal might give you partial credit for some answers but when you are dealing with the torso you will want to use SUPERIOR or INFERIOR.

What portion of the small intestine is most distal from the pylorus of stomach?
The ileum is the most distal portion of the small intestine from the pylorus of the stomach. It connects to the large intestine at the ileocecal valve.
Is the liver distal to the heart?
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.
First part of bowel distal to the stomach?
The first part of the bowel distal to the stomach is the duodenum. It is the shortest and widest part of the small intestine and plays a critical role in the absorption of nutrients.
When selecting an iv site you work distal to proximal?
Incorrect. When selecting an IV site, you typically start proximally (closer to the heart) and work distally (further away from the heart) for better flow and to preserve veins for future use.
What section of the stomach tapers off into the pyloric sphincter?
The section of the stomach that tapers off into the pyloric sphincter is called the pyloric region or pylorus. This region is located at the distal end of the stomach and connects it to the duodenum of the small intestine. The pyloric sphincter regulates the passage of partially digested food from the stomach into the small intestine.
Is the heart distal to the rib cage?
The heart is SUPERIOR to the stomach...ABOVE... Distal usually only applies to the appendages, or limbs. The hand is distal to the elbow. The foot is distal to the ankle. Distal might give you partial credit for some answers but when you are dealing with the torso you will want to use SUPERIOR or INFERIOR.
Is the foot distal or proximal to the heart?
Distal
Is electrical activity of the heart distal to proximal?
No, electrical activity in the heart moves from proximal to distal.

Small intestine
What is the ogran distal to the stomach?

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).
Which arae of the body is considered sterile stomach pharynx distal urethra vagina?
distal urethra
What is the suffix for sudden involuntary contraction of muscle at the distal region of the stomach?
The suffix for sudden involuntary contraction of muscle is "-spasm." So, the condition you are referring to in the distal region of the stomach would be called "gastros- (stomach) -spasm."
What portion of the small intestine is most distal from the pylorus of stomach?
The ileum is the most distal portion of the small intestine from the pylorus of the stomach. It connects to the large intestine at the ileocecal valve.
