Question 1
, Page 2 of 94
Which of the following anatomical terms means toward the midline of
the body
A. Medial
B. Lateral
C. Proximal
D. Distal
Verified Answer A
Rationale The correct answer is A because medial means toward the
midline of the body. Lateral means away from the midline. Proximal
means closer to the point of attachment. Distal means farther from the
point of attachment.
Question 2
Which of the following anatomical terms means away from the midline
of the body
A. Medial
B. Lateral
C. Proximal
D. Distal
Verified Answer B
Rationale The correct answer is B because lateral means away from the
midline. Medial means toward the midline. Proximal means closer to the
point of attachment. Distal means farther from the point of attachment.
Question 3
Which of the following anatomical terms means closer to the point of
attachment
, Page 3 of 94
A. Medial
B. Lateral
C. Proximal
D. Distal
Verified Answer C
Rationale The correct answer is C because proximal means closer to the
point of attachment. Distal means farther from the point of attachment.
Medial means toward the midline. Lateral means away from the midline.
Question 4
Which of the following anatomical terms means farther from the point of
attachment
A. Medial
B. Lateral
C. Proximal
D. Distal
Verified Answer D
Rationale The correct answer is D because distal means farther from the
point of attachment. Proximal means closer to the point of attachment.
Medial means toward the midline. Lateral means away from the midline.
Question 5
Which of the following anatomical positions describes the body standing
upright, facing forward, arms at the sides, palms facing forward
A. Anatomical position
B. Supine position
, Page 4 of 94
C. Prone position
D. Lateral position
Verified Answer A
Rationale The correct answer is A because anatomical position is
standing upright, facing forward, arms at sides, palms facing forward.
Supine is lying face up. Prone is lying face down. Lateral is lying on the
side.
Question 6
Which of the following anatomical planes divides the body into left and
right halves
A. Sagittal plane
B. Coronal plane
C. Transverse plane
D. Frontal plane
Verified Answer A
Rationale The correct answer is A because the sagittal plane divides the
body into left and right halves. The coronal or frontal plane divides into
front and back. The transverse plane divides into upper and lower.
Question 7
Which of the following anatomical planes divides the body into front
and back sections
A. Sagittal plane
B. Coronal plane
C. Transverse plane
D. Midline plane
