What procedure exerts a pulling force on the distal end of the affected limb?
Traction is a pulling force exerted on a limb in a distal direction in an effort to return a bone or joint to normal alignment.
What term means a pulling force exerted on a limb in a distal direction in a effort to return the bone or joint to normal alignment?
The term is traction. It is a therapeutic technique that involves applying a pulling force to a body part in order to align bones or joints that may be dislocated or fractured. Traction is commonly used in medical settings to help reduce pain and restore normal alignment.
Which direction describes the hand in relation to the shoulder?
distal
What is the term for the direction and distance you are from your origin?
That term is called "displacement." It refers to the change in position of an object, characterized by both direction and distance from its origin point.
Describe in directional terms the relationship between the patella and the ankle?
The patella is located proximal to the ankle joint. It is situated in the anterior part of the knee, serving as a protective cover for the knee joint, while the ankle joint is distal to the patella, located in the lower leg connecting the shinbone to the foot.

What opposite direction is cephalic?
Distal
What direction is the ankle to the knee?
The ankle is distal to the knee.
Describe direction of fetal development distal-proximal or caudal-rostral?
claudal-rostal, proximal distal <--i think
What is the correct anatomical direction from the kee to the foot?
inferior or distal
A baby's control over muscle progresses in what direction?
inferior direction as well as a proximal/distal direction
What anatomical direction is distal?
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
How would you describe the flow of blood from the heart to the right thumb and back to the heart using the terms proximal distal medial and lateral?
The blood moves in a lateral direction to the distal right thumb. Then the blood comes back in a proximal direction toward the medial body, where the heart is located.
What is proper direction to count phalanges of right hand in anatomical position?
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.
What is the opposite of distal?
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
