No, it the wrist would be distal to the elbow.
The best way to remember this is by using the words approximate (close) and distant (far). If something is proximal, it is closer to the trunk. If it is distal, it is further away from the trunk.
That's wrong, i just got that one wrong on the test i was taking. it is proximal to the elbow!!

Is the elbow superior to the wrist?
Yes, the elbow is located superior to the wrist in terms of anatomical position. The elbow joint is closer to the body's midline and is considered proximal, while the wrist joint is further away from the body's midline and is considered distal.
What is the elbow to the wrist caudal posterior anterior or proximal?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. The wrist is distal to the elbow.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
Is elbow proximal the wrist?
No. The wrist is DISTAL to the elbow. The radius and the ulna ( your forearm ) are what separates the elbow joint from the carpals, and the metacarpals, which is your wrist.
The wrist is what to the fingers in respect of the elbow?
The wrist is distal to the fingers in relation to the elbow.
Is the elbow dorsal or medial to the wrist?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. It can't be considered dorsal or medial to the wrist.
Is the patient's right wrist superficial to his right elbow?
No, the wrist is distal to the elbow and the elbow is proximal to the wrist.
Is the elbow medial to the wrist?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. In anatomical position, it is neither medial nor lateral to the wrist.
Which of the following describes the position of the elbow with respect to the wrist and shoulder?
The elbow is distal to the shoulder but proximal to the wrist
Is the elbow distal to the wrist?
Yes, the elbow is distal to the wrist. The term "distal" refers to a structure being further away from the trunk or point of attachment, while "proximal" is closer to the trunk.
What is distal to the left elbow and proximal to the wrist?
The forearm is distal to the left elbow and proximal to the wrist.
The wrist is located_____ of the elbow: a. proximal b. medial c. distal d. ventral?
