Elbow
- D.
Limb (leg or arm)
- E.
Wrist
Correct Answer
D. Limb (leg or arm)Explanation
Moving from the trunk of the body toward the end of a limb is moving in a distal direction, or distally. The term "distal" refers to a position that is farther away from the point of reference or the center of the body. In this case, the trunk of the body serves as the point of reference, and moving towards the end of a limb, such as the leg or arm, is considered moving in a distal direction.Rate this question:
-
- 14.
Moving from the end of a limb towards the trunk of the body is moving in a ____________direction.
- A.
Superfical
- B.
Positive
- C.
External
- D.
Proximal
- E.
Negative
Correct Answer
D. ProximalExplanation
Moving from the end of a limb towards the trunk of the body is moving in a proximal direction. Proximal refers to a location closer to the point of attachment or origin of a structure. In this case, the limb is the structure and the trunk is the point of attachment or origin. Therefore, moving from the end of the limb towards the trunk is considered a proximal direction.Rate this question:
