Yes. Distal means farther from the point of attachment or from the center of the body. So the knee is distal to the hip, and the food would be distal to the knee and so on.
No. It is distal. Unless you are lying on your back with your legs in the air.
The ankle is the joint immediately distal to the knee.
An injury to the lower leg is distal to the knee.
The hip is proximal to the knee.
Yes. Distal means farther from the point of attachment or from the center of the body. So the knee is distal to the hip, and the food would be distal to the knee and so on.
There are two. From the thigh, the distal femur interacts with the proximal tibia to form the bony structures of the knee. The patella is also present, but is not actually part of the knee joint. It acts as a lever to aid the quadriceps extend the knee in a more energy-efficient manner.
A distal interphalangeal joint is the articulation of the medial and distal phalanges. In contrast, a proximal interphalangeal joint is the articulation of the proximal and medial phalanges.
Patella!! ---- There are three bones that make up the knee joint: the distal end of the femur, the proximal end of the tibia, and the patella, which is a sesamoid bone within the quadriceps tendon that helps provide better leverage for extension of the knee.
The ankle is distal to the knee.
In biology, "distal" means "away" (from the center of the body or point of attachment). The lower leg and foot are distal to the knee. The opposite of distal is "proximal".
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
yes
The knee is a hinge joint.
It is proximal as the knee is closer to the median / midline of the body than the foot. The foot is distal. Distal suggests a structure being further away from the median plane or the root of the limb than another structure in the limb. Proximal refers to a structure being closer to the median plane or root of the limb than another structure in the limb
The knee joint is located in the leg at the knee. It is a type of hinge joint.
