Which statement is correct?
-
The knee is proximal to the hip.
-
The hip is proximal to the knee.
-
The shoulder is distal to the elbow.
-
The knee is distal to the ankle.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The statement "The hip is proximal to the knee" is correct because the term "proximal" refers to a body part that is closer to the point of attachment or the center of the body. In this case, the hip is closer to the center of the body compared to the knee, making it the proximal structure.
