anonymous · Answer

C - scapula

anonymous · Answer

It's radius. Scapula is wrong.

anonymous · Answer

why is it radius? it is the correct answer but i dont understand why

anonymous · Answer

Proximal means closer to the base of the limb. The scapula, sternum, and clavicle are all on the thorax. The radius is one of  two bones between your elbow and wrist.

anonymous · Answer

my textbook definition is "towards the point of attachment of the limb to the body"
but isnt the humerus have 2 point of attachments? the scapula and the radius

anonymous · Answer

Proximal and distal are relative terms used to compare two anatomical things. Your shoulder is proximal to your elbow, but your elbow is proximal to your wrist.
