In the anatomical position, yes it is.
I would say that your little toe is your shortest digit.

The thumb and fifth digit (pinky) are both essential components of the human hand, contributing to its dexterity and functionality. The thumb is opposable, allowing it to grasp and manipulate objects effectively, while the fifth digit provides stability and support during gripping actions. Together, they enhance the hand's ability to perform tasks requiring fine motor skills and strength. Their distinct roles exemplify the intricate design of the human hand for complex movements.
In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist. No other structure could be considered lateral to the wrist.
If standing in anatomical position with palms facing out, the thumb is the lateral digit of the hand, as lateral means "away from midline" vs. medial, which would be toward the midline of the body.
In the anatomical position, yes it is.
The first digit of the hand is called the thumb.
In the anatomical position of the hand the palm faces to anterior side. Because you use your palm as you flex it. You do not use the dorsal aspect of the hand normally. So in the anatomical position the palm faces on the anterior side. That way the thumb comes on lateral side to the fingers.
Yes, your pinky is your fifth digit and your thumb is your first digit on your manus, or hand
The pointer finger is the second digit on the hand, next to the thumb. It is also known as the index finger.

No. When the body is in the anatomical position, the thumb is further away from the midline. You say that the thumb is lateral to the ring finger.
In the anatomical position of the hand the palm faces to anterior side. Because you use your palm as you flex it. You do not use the dorsal aspect of the hand normally. So in the anatomical position the palm faces on the anterior side. That way the thumb comes on lateral side to the fingers.
No, the small finger is medial to the thumb.
In the anatomical position of the hand the palm is facing forward. The thumb is placed in contact with the index finger. You can see the picture of the anatomical position. It is better to see than describe the same.
