A 35-second silent, caption-led lesson for medical students. No narration or music. Pause at the question and then check your reasoning. 0:00 Keep the landmarks — Imagine shoulder, elbow and wrist along one limb. This diagram is only a relationship map. 0:07 Compare elbow to wrist — The elbow is nearer the limb attachment: proximal to the wrist. 0:14 Your turn · pause — Now compare the same elbow with the shoulder. Proximal or distal? 0:21 Distal to the shoulder — The reference changed. The elbow did not move. Relative terms need two structures. 0:28 Practise one full sentence — Name both landmarks, then the relationship. Avoid describing a structure as simply ‘proximal’ without context.
