Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The term ‘proximal’ means that the body part is closer to the trunk of the body. Because the hip lies closer to the axial skeleton than the knee does, we can say that the hip is proximal to the knee.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. Superior indicates above, while inferior indicates below. Anterior refers to the front, while posterior refers to the back.
