Brief Explanations
- In anatomy, "distal" is used to describe a position farther from the attachment point of a limb or structure. The hands are distal to the arms. "Superficial" refers to closeness to the body surface, "anterior" to the front - side, and "proximal" to closeness to the attachment point (opposite of distal).
- A joint with one convex and one concave articulating surface is a condyloid joint. A saddle joint has both surfaces saddle - shaped, a hinge joint allows mainly flexion and extension like the elbow, a ball - and - socket joint has a ball - like head fitting into a socket (e.g., hip joint), and a pivot joint allows rotation around an axis.
