,4) What is considered standard anatomical position?
A) The body is upright, the legs are close together, the feet are flat on the floor, the arms are
close to the sides, and the face and palms of the hands are facing forward.
B) The body is upright, the legs are far apart, the feet are flat on the floor, the arms are close to
the sides, and the face and palms of the hands are facing forward.
C) The body is upright, the legs are close together, the feet are flat on the floor, the arms are
spread far from the sides, and the face and palms of the hands are facing backward.
D) The body is lying in a horizontal position, the legs are close together, the feet are pointing
upward, the arms are close to the sides, and the face and palms of the hands are facing upward.
Answer: A
Explanation: Standard anatomical position is described as the body standing upright, the legs are
close together, the feet are flat on the floor, the arms are close to the sides, and the face and
palms of the hands are facing forward.
Section: 01.02
Topic: Anatomical position
Learning Objective: 01.02 Describe the location of structures in the human body using
anatomical terms of direction, regions, planes, positions, and cavities.
Bloom's: 1. Remember
CAAHEP: I.C.3. Describe body planes, directional terms, quadrants, and cavities
5) What do anatomical terms of direction describe?
A) The specific region in which a body part is located
B) The body's position
C) The location of a particular structure in the body
D) The cavity that contains certain organs within the body
Answer: C
Explanation: Anatomical terms of direction are used to describe one of the following: the
location of a particular structure in the body, the location of a structure relative to another
structure, or the location of something within a structure. Anatomical regions describe where a
body part is located. Anatomical positions describe the position of the body. Anatomical cavities
describe cavities that contain organs.

, 6) What anatomical term of direction is used to describe the location of the ankle in relation to
the knee?
A) Proximal
B) Distal
C) Superficial
D) Ventral
Answer: B
Explanation: The ankle is distal to the knee because the ankle is farther from the connection to
the body than the knee.

7) What anatomical term of direction is used to describe the location of the nose in relation to the
eyes?
A) Medial
B) Superior
C) Lateral
D) Ventral
Answer: A
Explanation: The nose is medial to the eyes because the nose is on the midline of the body and
the eyes are away from the midline or lateral to the nose.
