distal end Explanation: קצה דיסטלי on its own means "distal end" and can apply not only to the urological system. Therefore the words "distal end" should be taken as the correct translation of just these two words when used generally. I agree that in urology the definition is as you have had it from the previous two responses. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-09-23 19:19:21 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- As regards the previous two definitions, the ureter can have a proximal end or a distal end and although a person has two ureters, it is not the case that one of them is termed the proximal ureter and the other the distal ureter. So I feel that in the case we have here, aquanai "has it by the right end", as it were! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-09-23 19:24:59 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I therefore consider that Kudoz points have been awarded for an incorrect answer and would hope that there is some way that the glossary entries can be corrected if any have been made. |
