Proximal is the medical term meaning nearest the point of attachment.
Distal is the term that means farther from the attachment of a limb to the trunk or farther from the origination of a structure. For instance, the wrist is distal to the elbow.
Proximal means nearer the point of origin.
The term that means nearest the point of attachment or origin is "proximal." This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of structures relative to the trunk of the body or the point of attachment of a limb. For example, the shoulder is proximal to the elbow.
proximal
In medical terms, the closest point of attachment is referred to as the proximal end. This typically refers to the end of a bone or muscle that is closer to the center of the body or the point of origin.
You mean the proximal point of attachment.
no the wrists are distal to the elbow, distal meaning further away from the point of attachment
The opposite medical term of "distal" is "proximal." While "distal" refers to a position further from the point of attachment or the center of the body, "proximal" indicates a position closer to the point of attachment or the center. These terms are commonly used in anatomy to describe locations of structures in relation to each other.
There's no such thing as "the nearest decimal point". If you mean "the nearest whole number" ... I'm stretching here, trying to invest your question with some meaning ... then the answer is zero.
Strabismus is the medical term meaning misalignment of the eyes.
Something above the point of reference in medical terms is called "superior."
This term refers to anatomical structures that are located near the center of the body or the point where a limb attaches to the trunk. It is often used to describe the position of organs, bones, muscles, or other body parts.
