C) Wrist
D) Hand
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The antebrachial region is the forearm. The
brachial region is the arm, the carpal region is the wrist, and
the manus is the hand.

A) Posterior aspect of the elbow
B) Anterior surface of the elbow
C) Back of the knee
, D) Anterior surface of the knee
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The antecubital region is the anterior surface of
the elbow. The olecranal region is the posterior aspect of
the elbow, and the popliteal region is the back of the knee.
8. The axillary region is the:
A) Armpit
B) Hip
C) Groin
D) Neck
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The axillary region is the armpit. The coxal region
is the hip, the inguinal region is the groin, and the cervical
region is the neck.
