Examples of Proximal in the following topics:
-
- The eight, irregularly shaped carpals are
the most proximal bones of the hand.
- The trapezoid articulates with the scaphoid proximally and
the second metacarpal distally.
- The capitate articulates with the scaphoid and
lunate proximally and the third and fourth metacarpal.
- The hand contains five metacarpal bones that articulate proximally with the carpals and distally with the proximal
phalanges.
- Fingers are made up of proximal, intermediate, and distal phalanges.
-
- The tarsal bones of the foot are organized into
three rows: proximal, intermediate, and distal.
- The proximal row contains the
talus, which is the most superior of the tarsals and articulates with the tibia
and fibula to form the ankle joint.
- The proximal base articulates with the
cuboid bones, and distally with the proximal phalanges, and each metatarsal also articulates
laterally with adjacent metatarsals.
- With the exception of
the big toe, each digit contains a proximal, intermediate, and distal phalange;
the big toe lacks an intermediate phalange.
- The foot contains the proximal tarsals that form the ankle and heel; intermediate metatarsals; and the distal phalanges that form the toes.
-
- Proximally it articulates with the
scapula to form the shoulder joint, or glenohumeral joint.
- The proximal portion of the humerus can be
divided into three parts.
- Below this proximal region lies the shaft,
which is separated from the proximal region by the surgical neck, so termed as
this in an area of frequent fracture.
- The humerus attaches proximally to the scapula (shoulderblade) at the humeral head and distally with the radius and ulna (lower-arm bones) at the trochlea and capitulum, respectively.
-
- The olecranon is a
projection of bone that extends proximally from the ulna.
- Laterally to the trochlear notch lies the radial
notch, which articulates with the head of the radius to form the proximal
radioulnar joint.
- The radius is slightly smaller than the
ulna and pivots around the ulna to produce movement at the proximal and distal
radioulnar joints.
- Proximally, the radius terminates with a disk-shaped head that articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the
ulna.
-
- The tibia, or shin bone, spans the lower
leg, articulating proximally with the femur and patella at the knee joint, and
distally with the tarsal bones, to form the ankle joint.
- On the anterior surface of the proximal region and inferiorly
to the condyles is the tibial tuberosity to which the patella ligament
attaches.
- The fibula also spans the lower leg, although
proximally it does not articulate with the femur or patella.
- Proximally, the fibula head articulates with
the lateral condyle of the tibia, and the biceps femoris attaches to the fibula
head.
-
- The femur articulates proximally
with the acetabulum of the pelvis to form the hip joint, and distally with the
tibia and patella to form the knee joint.
- Proximally, the femur exhibits four key
regions.
- Two key
features of the shaft are the proximal gluteal tuberosity to which the gluteus
maximus attaches, and the distal adductor tubercle to which the adductor magnus
attaches.
- Finally, the two epicondyles, the medial and lateral, lie immediately
proximal to the condyles; they are also regions where key internal knee ligaments
attach.
-
- Trait leadership also takes into account the distinction between proximal and distal character traits.
- Proximal characteristics are traits that are malleable and can be developed over time.
- The premise suggests that distal attributes (such as dispositional attributes, cognitive abilities, and motives/values) come first and then lead to the development of proximal characteristics.
- This diagram visually represents Zaccaro's theory that distal attributes (e.g., cognitive abilities, personality, values) serve as precursors for the development of proximal personal characteristics (e.g. social skills, problem-solving skills), both of which contribute to leadership.
-
- A hip fracture is a femoral fracture that occurs in the proximal end of the femur (the long bone running through the thigh) near the hip.
- A hip fracture is a femoral fracture that occurs in the proximal end of the femur (the long bone running through the thigh) near the hip .

- In order to gain an understanding of Vygotsky's theories on cognitive development, one must understand two of the main principles of Vygotsky's work: the More Knowledgeable Other (MKO) and the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).The MKO is somewhat self-explanatory; it refers to someone who has a better understanding or a higher ability level than the learner, with respect to a particular task, process, or concept.Although the implication is that the MKO is a teacher or an older adult, this is not necessarily the case.Many times, a child's peers or an adult's children may be the individuals with more knowledge or experience.

- The proximal tubule is the first site of water reabsorption into the bloodstream, and the site where the majority of water and salt reabsorption takes place.
- Water reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule occurs due to both passive diffusion across the basolateral membrane, and active transport from Na+/K+/ATPase pumps that actively transports sodium across the basolateral membrane.
- Approximately 2/3rds of water in the nephron and 100% of the glucose in the nephron are reabsorbed by cotransport in the proximal convoluted tubule.
- It transfers fluid from the proximal to the distal tubule.
