What else can I help you with?
Is clavicle distal to umbilicus?
The clavicle is not distal or proximal to the umbilicus. It is superior and lateral.
What is the opposite of proximal?
The term most opposite of proximal is "distal."
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
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.
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
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.
What is the opposite of distal?
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
Is the foot distal or proximal to the heart?
Distal
Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
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
Is electrical activity of the heart distal to proximal?
No, electrical activity in the heart moves from proximal to distal.
Are peyer patches in the proximal or distal intestine?
proximal ?
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 toes proximal to ankle?
ANSWER: YesTo quote my textbook, Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology (2nd Edition) by Donald C. Rizzo: "Proximal means nearest the point of attachment or origin. Example: the elbow is proximal to the wrist, the knee is proximal to the ankle. Distal mean away from the point of attachment or origin. Example: the wrist is distal to the elbow, the ankle is distal to the knee."
