Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
The proper direction to count phalanges on the right hand in anatomical position is from proximal to distal. Start with the phalanx closest to the metacarpals (proximal phalanx), then the middle phalanx, and finally the distal phalanx at the tip of the finger.
The abdomen is distal to the chest. The chest is located superiorly to the abdomen in anatomical position.
Yes, the fingers are distal to the hand. In anatomical terms, "distal" means further away from the point of attachment or origin. The fingers are located at the far end of the hand.
Yes, the fingers are distal to the palm. In anatomical terms, "distal" refers to a position further from the center of the body or point of attachment, while "proximal" refers to a position closer to the center. Since the fingers are located at the end of the hand, beyond the palm, they are indeed considered distal to it.
Distal is away from the center of body trunk or point of attachment. The wrist is farther away from center of body trunk. Proximal is closest to the body central axis or point of attachment, so the shoulder is proximal.
inferior or distal
The proper direction to count phalanges on the right hand in anatomical position is from proximal to distal. Start with the phalanx closest to the metacarpals (proximal phalanx), then the middle phalanx, and finally the distal phalanx at the tip of the finger.
In anatomical position, the feet are distal (farther from the center of the body) to the knees.
The abdomen is distal to the chest. The chest is located superiorly to the abdomen in anatomical position.
distal
The epigastric region.
Yes, the fingers are distal to the hand. In anatomical terms, "distal" means further away from the point of attachment or origin. The fingers are located at the far end of the hand.

The ankle is distal to the knee.
claudal-rostal, proximal distal <--i think
