Proximal
The clavicle is not distal or proximal to the umbilicus. It is superior and lateral.
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
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.
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
Distal
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
No, electrical activity in the heart moves from proximal to distal.
proximal ?
The distal end of a long bone is the end farthest from the center of the body, while the proximal end is the end closest to the body's center. These ends are important for articulating with other bones and facilitating movement at joints.
No. 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.
