Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The point of attachment here is the shoulder. The hand is farther than the elbow to the shoulder, so we say that the hand is distal to the elbow. Conversely, the elbow is proximal (closer to the point of attachment) to the hand.
Detailed explanation-2: -This statement is true. The hand is distal to the elbow. The point of attachment of both the hand and elbow is the shoulder. Compared to the elbow, the hand is farther away from the point of attachment, and so we say that the hand is distal to the elbow.
