Question

the directional term that means \closest to the point of attachment to the trunk\ is ______.

○ medial

○ superior

○ distal

○ proximal

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Medial" refers to being closer to the midline of the body, not related to attachment to the trunk.
• "Superior" means above or higher in position, not about attachment.
• "Distal" means farther from the point of attachment to the trunk.
• "Proximal" is defined as closer to the point of attachment to the trunk (like the trunk of the body for limbs).

Answer:

D. proximal
