Detailed explanation-1: -Proximal means nearer to the center (trunk of the body) or to the point of attachment to the body. If another reference point is given, such as the heart, the proximal point of another organ or extremity is the point closest to the heart, central rather than peripheral. Proximal is the opposite of distal.
Detailed explanation-2: -Proximal describes a position in a limb that is nearer to the point of attachment or the trunk of the body. The brachium is proximal to the antebrachium. Distal describes a position in a limb that is farther from the point of attachment or the trunk of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Proximal: nearer to point of reference or attachment (ex: the shoulder is proximal to the elbow or the elbow is proximal to the wrist). Distal: farther away from a point of reference or attachment (ex: the elbow is distal to the shoulder or the wrist is distal to the elbow.
