Which of the following body regions is the most proximal?
Multiple Choice
Acromial
brachial
Antecubital
carpal
Ans- Acromial
Proximal refers to something closer or nearer to the centre of the body or to the point of attachment. Here shoulder region is the point of attachment. It's opposite is distal which is far or at distant from the point of attachment. So coming to the options, acromion is the bony process on the scapula which means being most near to the shoulder joint. Brachial region is the region of arm between deltoid and axillary regions proximally and cubital distally. Antecubital region is more distal to the brachial region, it is the front region of forearm. Carpels are the bones of the wrist thus this area is distal to the anticubital region. Therefore most proximal region is proximal.
