ANS: A n




Feedback
A Thepalms of thehands in anatomic position arefacing toward the front and are

n n n n n n n n n n n n




a. Sagittal
b. Contralater

al
c. Ipsilateral
d. Midsagittal

ANS: B n




Feedback
A Thetwo legs arecontralateral to each other. Sagittal describes aplaneof
n n n n n n n n n n n n




division of the body created by an imaginary plane parallel to the median plane.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




B Contralateral structures arelocated on theopposite sideof thebody, which is the n n n n n n n n n n n n n




anatomic relationship of the right arm to the left leg.
n n n n n n n n n n




C Ipsilateral refers to structures on thesame sideof thebody; in contrast, the two n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




legs are contralateral to each other and thus are located on the opposite side of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




the body. n
