Distal vs Proximal

The video tutorial explains the anatomical terms 'distal' and 'proximal', which describe the location of body parts relative to the center of the body or a point of attachment. 'Distal' refers to being farther from the center or point of attachment, while 'proximal' means closer. The tutorial uses examples to clarify these terms, such as describing the location of a tattoo on the forearm. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these terms for accurate anatomical descriptions.
