BODY REGIONS Proximal and distal are terms used to describe the
relative location of structures along a limb or other body
part. Where the limb attaches to the body is used as the
point of reference. For example, the shoulder is where the arm attaches to the torso, and is the point of
reference for the arm.

The relationship between the elbow and wrist can then
be described by saying what?

The elbow is
to the wrist.
