Final answer:Regions distal to the antecubital region include the antebrachial region (forearm)(option A) , phalanges (finger bones)( option D) , and pollex (thumb)(option F) , signifying areas further along the arm from the front of the elbow.Explanation:The question asks which regions are distal to the antecubital region. The antecubital region is the front of the elbow. Therefore, regions that are located further down the arm or hand from the antecubital region are considered distal to it.OPTION A. antebrachial region is distal to the antecubital region, as it refers to the forearm, the area between the elbow and wrist.OPTION D. phalanges are also distal to the antecubital region as they refer to the bones of the fingers and thumb, situated at the end of the upper limb.OPTION F. pollex refers to the thumb, specifically, and is part of the hand, thus distal to the antecubital region.Options B (cervical), C (axilla), E (mantis -- which seems to be a typo or irrelevant), and G (brachium) are not correct. The cervical area is in the neck, the axilla is the armpit, and the brachium refers to the upper arm between the shoulder and elbow, all of which are not distal but proximal or unrelated to the antecubital region....
