Detailed explanation-1: -Proximal and Distal describe one point relative to another. Proximal refers to a point closer to the reference point while distal refers to a point farther away.
Detailed explanation-2: -Proximal means that the structure is closer to a point of attachment, while lateral refers to a structure being away from the middle of the body. The opposing term for proximal is distal, meaning away from the point of attachment, and the opposing term for lateral is medial, meaning toward the center line.
Detailed explanation-3: -Distal: Farther from the point of attachment or the trunk of the body (think “distance") Superficial: Nearer to the surface of the body. Deep: Farther from the surface of the body. Superior: Above or higher than another part. Inferior: Below or lower than another part.
