Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Is your hand closer to (proximal) or further away (distal) from the torso than your elbow? Your hand is further away from your torso than your elbow. Therefore your hand is “distal” when compared to your elbow.
Detailed explanation-3: -The elbow is proximal to the wrist. This is because the elbow is closer to a point of attachment while the wrist is further making it distal.
