Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The knee is the largest weightbearing joint in your body. The distal femur makes up the top part of your knee joint. The upper part of the shinbone (tibia) supports the bottom part of your knee joint. The ends of the femur are covered in a smooth, slippery substance called articular cartilage.
Detailed explanation-2: -The knee is further away from the point of attachment than the hip. This would make the hip proximal and the knee distal.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hip is proximal to the knee, as the hip is closer to the trunk than the knee. Again proximal means toward or closer to the trunk. We can also say the knee is distal to the hip, as the knee is farther away from the trunk than the hip.
