Question: 1 / 400

Relative to the ankle, the knee is:

lateral

medial

proximal

In anatomical terms, "proximal" refers to a position that is closer to the point of attachment or the trunk of the body. In the case of the knee in relation to the ankle, the knee is indeed more proximal, as it is positioned closer to the trunk of the body compared to the ankle. This makes option C the correct answer.

Options A and B (lateral and medial) refer to the sides of a body part in relation to its midline. The knee is neither directly lateral nor medial to the ankle in the anatomical sense.

Option D (superior) is used to describe a structure that is above another structure. While the knee is above the ankle when considering the leg's position, when referring to the anatomical position, proximal is the more appropriate term to describe the relationship between the knee and the ankle.
