Question

choose the correct answer. the best body directional term to describe the wrists location compared to the elbow would be to say: the wrist is more _______ than the elbow. ventral dorsal proximal distal

Explanation:

In anatomy, "distal" refers to a position farther from the attachment point of a limb to the body or from the beginning of a structure. The wrist is farther from the shoulder (attachment point of the arm to the body) compared to the elbow, so it is distal to the elbow. "Ventral" refers to the front - side, "dorsal" to the back - side, and "proximal" to a position closer to the attachment point.

Answer:

D. distal
