THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Lateral-away from the midline of the body (example, the little toe is located at the lateral side of the foot). Proximal-toward or nearest the trunk or the point of origin of a part (example, the proximal end of the femur joins with the pelvic bone).

Detailed explanation-2: -The terms “medial” and “lateral” are used to describe relative location toward the midline. A medial structure is closer to the midline (think nose and navel), while a lateral structure is farther from the midline.
