distal

"Distal" is a medical term used to describe the location of something farther away from the center of the body or from the point of attachment. For example, in the arm, the fingers are distal to the shoulder because they are farther from the torso. It helps healthcare professionals communicate about specific parts of the body with precision. Essentially, "distal" indicates a position that is located further out or away from the main part or trunk of the body or limb.
