The shoulder is superior to the hand, it cannot be classified as distal or proximal.
The elbow is superior to the hand.
Yes
yes i think
proximal
Yes
distal
The wrist is proximal to the fingers and distal to the elbow.
The arm, forearm, wrist, hand, and fingers are all distal to the acromial region.
nope. anterior means in front of. the elbow is distal to the shoulder.
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
The distal end of the humerus articulates with the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Noteworthy features on its distal and are the lateral and medial epicondyles (one of which is your elbow) as well as the trochlea and capitulum(both of these features forming the "pulley" shape found at the end of the humerus.
No. The elbow is distal to the shoulder. Proximal means closer to the body, whereas distal is further away.

The elbow is distal to the shoulder but proximal to the wrist
the elbow is distal to the shoulder or converselt the shoulder is proximal to the elbow. these are in relation to being closer or further from the medial lind of your body
The distal end of the humerus articulates with the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Noteworthy features on its distal and are the lateral and medial epicondyles (one of which is your elbow) as well as the trochlea and capitulum(both of these features forming the "pulley" shape found at the end of the humerus.
The closest position. ex: the elbow is proximal to the shoulder. The wrist is distal to the shoulder.
No, the fingernail is distal to the elbow. Imagine a body standing with arms and legs spread out, like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. To determine if a part is distal or proximal to another part, look to see if it is closer or farther from the center of the body relative to the body part you are comparing it to. The fingernail is farther from the center of the body than the elbow, so it is distal to the elbow. In contrast the shoulder is closer to the center of the body, so it is proximal to the elbow. Using the same reasoning, the elbow is distal to the shoulder. When you're comfortable with those distinctions, you can start thinking about other terms like ventral, dorsal, caudal, saggital, coronal, etc.
distal to the wrist, because they are away from the shoulder (origin point)
The wrist is located distal to the elbow. Meaning the wrist is farther from the point of origin than the elbow.
