The Wrist is ________ to the Elbow

Question

The wrist is ________ to the elbow.
A) proximal
B) distal
C) lateral
D) medial
E) horizontal

Accepted Answer

Distal means farther away from the point of origin, whereas proximal means closer to the point of origin. In this case, the wrist is farther away from the point of origin (shoulder) than the elbow, making it distal to the elbow.
