远端与近端

Proximal. This is a (reational) term that defines something closer to a particular reference point, usually the center of the body. For example, the proximal tibia is the part of the tibia that is closest to the center of the body proximalwhen compared to the rest of the tibia.

Distal. This refers to something further away from the center of the body when compared to another reference point. It is the opposite of the term “proximal”. The distal tibia is further away from the center of the body than the proximal tibia.

proximal 近端

Reference point 参考点

proximal tibia 胫骨近端

distal tibia 远端胫骨

tibia 胫骨

近端：  这里是说与身体有关的术语，它定义了接近特定某物体的参考点。通常指向身体的中心位置。举例来说☞胫骨近端是胫骨的一部分，与胫骨其余部分相比它最接近身体近端中心。

远端： 这里是指与另一参考点相比，离身体中心更远的某物。与“近端(Proximal)”一词正好相反，远端胫骨要比近端胫骨离身体中心更远。
