Distal and proximal ends of long bones?
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.

Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
The shoulder is proximal to the wrist. Proximal means closer to the point of attachment or origin, while distal means farther away. In this case, the shoulder is closer to the body's center and is therefore considered proximal to the wrist.
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.

What is the opposite of distal?

Is electrical activity of the heart distal to proximal?

Is the wrist distal or proximal to the hand?
nope. easy way to remember: proximal=proximity, hence closer to the body, and distal=distance, hence further away from the body. so the wrist is distal to the shoulder, and the shoulder is proximal to the wrist. make sense?
Are peyer patches in the proximal or distal intestine?
