Detailed explanation-1: -The knee is proximal to the foot. Moving distally from the hip brings you to the thigh. The foot is distal to the knee.
Detailed explanation-2: -The foot can be described as inferior to the knee but the term that best fits the comparison refers to the relation of the foot to the knee as part of the lower limb. The proximal end of the lower limb is the hip and the knee is distal to the hip but proximal to the foot. The foot is then distal to the knee.
Detailed explanation-3: -Superior: above (ex: head is superior to feet). Inferior: below (ex: feet are inferior to the head). Cephalic: relative term meaning nearer to the head (ex: collar bone is cephalic to the sternum).
Detailed explanation-4: -In medicine, refers to a part of the body that is closer to the center of the body than another part. For example, the knee is proximal to the toes. The opposite is distal.
Detailed explanation-5: -Since the ankle is further than the knee from the abdomen, it is distal to the knee.
