Detailed explanation-1: -So a finger is distal to the wrist, which is distal to the elbow, which is distal to the shoulder. Or, similarly, the femur is proximal to the knee, which is proximal to the ankle, which is proximal to the toes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The distal humerus is the lower end of the humerus. It forms the upper part of the elbow and is the spool around which the forearm bends and straightens. The radial head is the knobby end of the radius where it meets the elbow.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The elbow is B. proximal to the hand. Proximal describes any feature that is closer to the girdle of the limb than the digits.
Detailed explanation-4: -1. The fingers are distal to the wrist. This is because the fingers are further away from the point of attachment in comparison to the wrist which is proximal. 2.
Detailed explanation-5: -Proximal and Distal: Comparing Two Structures Proximal means ‘closer to the origin of a structure’, like a limb, while distal means ‘farther away from the structure’s origin’. Thus, when comparing the shoulder to the elbow, the shoulder is proximal and the elbow is distal.
