The Thigh is ___________ to the Foot

Question

The thigh is ___________ to the foot.
A) distal
B) proximal
C) inferior
D) deep

Accepted Answer

Proximal means closer to the center of the body, while distal means farther away. The thigh is closer to the center of the body than the foot, so it is proximal. Inferior means lower in position, which does not apply here. Deep means closer to the inside or center of the body, which also does not apply.
