Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wrist is farther away from the elbow than the hand, so it's considered distal to the elbow. "Proximal" refers to a body part that is closer to the center of the body, "lateral" refers to the outside of a body part, and "medial" refers to the inside of a body part, none of which are accurate descriptions of the wrist in relation to the elbow.
