Which term describes further away from the trunk of the body?

  1. Distal

  2. Proximal

  3. Superior

  4. Inferior

The correct answer is: Distal

Distal is the term used to describe structures that are further away or farther from the trunk of the body. This is in contrast to proximal, which refers to structures closer to the trunk. Superior and inferior describe positions above and below, respectively, while distal and proximal describe positions further and closer, respectively, in relation to the body's midline. Therefore, options B, C, and D are all incorrect as they do not accurately describe positions further away from the trunk.
