What else can I help you with?
Is the femur distal to the tarsals?
Yes, the femur is proximal to the tarsals. The femur is the long bone in the thigh, which is closer to the trunk of the body, while the tarsals are the bones in the foot, which are distal to the femur.
Is the foot proximal from the body?
No, the foot is not proximal to the body; it is distal. In anatomical terms, "proximal" refers to a position closer to the center of the body or point of attachment, while "distal" refers to a position further away. Therefore, the foot is located further from the body's center compared to other parts like the leg or thigh.
Is the leg distal to the thigh?
No. It is part of the leg. The thigh is proximal to the hip and superior to the knee.
Is the kneecap proximal to the hip?
no, the knee is distal to the thigh
What bony landmark is located proximal medial portion of the thigh?
The lesser trochanter is on the proximal medial portion of the femur. The femur is the scientific name for the thigh bone.
Is the knee proximal or superior to the foot?
The knee is proximal to the foot because it is closer to the body's midline, whereas superior refers to a higher position in the body.
Is the ankle is proximal to the foot?
Proximal, anything closer to midsection in proximal (closer) than distal (distant).
Is it true The knee is distal to the foot?
The knee is proximal to the foot. The knee is also superior to the foot in anatomical position.
Are the toes distal to the knee?
It is proximal as the knee is closer to the median / midline of the body than the foot. The foot is distal. Distal suggests a structure being further away from the median plane or the root of the limb than another structure in the limb. Proximal refers to a structure being closer to the median plane or root of the limb than another structure in the limb
Examples of proximal and distal?
the thigh is proximal(closer) to the foot; moving proximally from the wrist brings you close brings you to the elbox. the fingers are distal(farther from the attachment point) to the wrist. hpethat helps good luck :)
Is the foot distal or proximal to the heart?
Distal
Ankle is what to the foot?
The ankle is closer to the body than the foot so it is proximal.
