Which statement is correct?
-
The ear is medial to the eye.
-
The chin is anterior to the nose.
-
The elbow is proximal to the shoulder.
-
The elbow is distal to the shoulder.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The statement "The elbow is distal to the shoulder" is correct because when referring to the position of body parts, distal means further away from the point of attachment or origin. In this case, the elbow is further away from the point of attachment to the body (shoulder) compared to the shoulder itself.
