The portion of a flake found nearer the bulb and platform.
Relative directional term. Nearer the trunk of the body. Used with extremities; nearest; closer to any point of reference such as an origin, a point of attachment, or the midline of the body. Opposite is distal. For instance, the shoulder is proximal while the hand is distal.
nearer to the trunk (or other point of reference), as opposed to distal.
Nearest or closest to a point of reference; toward the attached end or origin or a structure (opposite of distal). Example: the tarantula slowly crawled proximally from his hand to his shoulder.
Closer to the median axis or point of attachment or origin.
closet to point of attachment.
Toward the attached base of an organ or structure.
Anatomical reference to a body part that is close to an organismâ€(tm)s midline. Contrast with distal.
In reference to limbs, proximal means close to the torso, or comparatively closer to the torso. Opposite of distal.
located near the point of attachment or origin or central part (e.g. torso).
A common descriptive term ( Jackson, 1928) used in contrast to distal, applied in palynology to features on the surface that faces towards the centre of the tetrad during development ( Wodehouse, 1935). Antonym: distal. See also: ana-, cata-, polarity.
A deposit of material that is closest to the source area.
Near the source, nearest any point being described.
nearer to the body, or to the base of an appendage
nearer the attachment of an extremity to the trunk or a structure; nearer to the point of origin
(adj.) Relatively near the central axis or the point of attachment. Compare distal.
Away from the tip of a structure; opposite of distal.
proxime = nearest (to the head, to a source, etc.); opposite to distal, q.v.
Near the point of attachment or other reference point. (Contrast with distal.)
located closest to the reference point.
nearest to point of origin or attachment (opp. distal)
nearest the point of attachment Pseudobranch – a rudimentary gill on the inner face of the operculum
toward the attached end of a limb or the origin of a structure.
situated nearest to point of attachment or origin; "the proximal end of a bone"
Closest to any point of reference, as opposed to distal.
nearest to and usually articulating with (joining to) the body of the dragon.
adjective, Latin proxime = nearest; hence, nearer to the root of a limb.
The "base" of something, near from the point of attachment.
(proximad, proximally, opp. distal) Toward the midline of the body. The wrist is proximad of the fingers and distad to the elbow.
(PROHKS-ih-mawl) A directional term indicating a body part that is located nearer to the origin or point of attachment to the trunk than another; opposite of distal.
Nearest the center of the body.
The part of a limb that is closest to the trunk. For example, the shoulder joint forms the proximal end of the upper extremity (opposite of distal).
Next to, or nearest, the point of attachment.
Surface nearest the adjacent tooth.
Closer to the centre of the body
adj. describes a feature anatomically located closer to, or in the direction of, the central part of the body or point of attachment or origin. Usually used in the description of limb bones. For example, the knee is proximal of the ankle radius n. abbrev. ra the innermost bone of the foreleg/forearm
In the direction of the central axis of the body. Opposite: Distal.
Closer to the axis of the body; opposite of distal.
Nearest to a point of reference. The opposite of proximal is distal.
near to the point or origin of attachment. cf. distal.
A structure that is located closer to the attached end of a limb.
closest to the center or to a central point of reference.
Nearest the trunk or the point of origin, said of part of a limb, of an artery or a nerve etc. Nail Folds: wall of mail; the fold of skin overlapping the lateral and proximal margins of the nail.
Located closer to the mid line of, or point of attachment to the body; as in the "the elbow is proximal to the finger." Opposite of distal.
Directional term meaning located closest to the point of attachment to the body.
A medical term that means"nearest to the point of origin". For example, the proximal portion of the leg is near the hip joint, where it "originates" in the body.
Situated towards the centre of the body; opposite of distal.
near to the point of origin or attachment. cf. distal.
toward the body. that portion of the appendage nearest the body.
Nearer to a point of origin, a point of attachment, or the midline of the body: the proximal end of a bone.
nearest the body or base of a given part
Closer to the midline or origin; opposite of distal.
Toward the point of origin or attachment.
Proximal means anatomically situated close to the origin or point of attachment, or close to the median, or middle, line of the body.
the end of the didjeridu closest to the player, usually called the "mouthpiece", cf: distal
A relative term meaning closer to the centromere; the opposite of distal.
anatomically located closer to a point of reference than another body part (whereas distal means away from).
Nearest to, closer to any point of reference, opposed to distal.
closest part nearest the trunk or head.
nearer to a point of reference, usually the trunk of the body.
Nearest to the point of attachment.
Nearest the point of reference. On pacing lead connectors, the proximal electrode is the ring electrode. See also distal. pseudofusion beat. A spontaneous cardiac depolarization occurring at or near a pulse generator output pulse. Because the stimulus occurs after the heart has spontaneously depolarized, the pacemaker output is ineffective, but it distorts the morphology of the complex on the EGG. See also pseudopseudofusion beat.
Nearer to the center or median line, or to the thorax.
