MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which surface of the body is visualized by the clinician when performing an extraoral
examination of the patient’s eyes?
a. Anterior
b. Posterior
c. Superior
d. Lateral
ANS: A
Feedback
A The patient’s eyes are visualized on the anterior surface of the patient’s body.
B The patient’s eyes would NOT be easily visualized on the posterior of the
patient’s body.
C The patient’s eyes would NOT be easily visualized on the superior surface of the
patient’s body.
D The patient’s eyes would NOT be easily visualized on the lateral surface of the
patient’s body.

2. Which of the following is CORRECT concerning the sagittal plane of the body?
a. Parallel to the median plane
b. Parallel to the frontal plane
c. Parallel to the horizontal plane
d. Parallel to the coronal plane
ANS: A
Feedback
A A sagittal plane is parallel to the median plane.
B A sagittal plane is NOT parallel to the frontal plane but perpendicular.
C A horizontal plane is perpendicular to the median plane. A sagittal plane is
parallel to the median plane. Thus a horizontal plane is perpendicular to a
sagittal plane.
D A sagittal plane is NOT parallel to the coronal plane but perpendicular.
