In anatomical terms, "proximal" means closer to the attachment point or origin. The elbow is closer to the shoulder (attachment point of the arm to the body) compared to the wrist, so it is proximal to the wrist. Long - bones are longer than they are wide, and the ulna in the forearm is a long bone. The frontal bone is a flat bone, tarsal bones are short bones, and vertebrae are irregular bones.
