Detailed explanation-1: -Those terms are proximal and distal. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The elbow joint is connected to the wrist with the bones radius and ulna. Humerus connects the shoulder with the elbow joint. As the length of the humerus is more than the length of the radius and ulna, the elbow joint is proximal to the wrist and distal to the shoulder.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The anatomical direction of the shoulder to the elbow is proximal. Proximal signifies proximity. If any structure is proximal to another structure, it means that it is closer to the trunk.
