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

, ANSWER: A_



RATIONALTE

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. Posterior



ANSWER: A_



RATIONALTE

A_ The_ palms of the_ hands in anatomic position are facing toward the_ front
and are anterior (or ventral).
B The_ palms of the_ hands in anatomic position are NOT facing lateral or away
from the_ median plane.
C The_ palms of the_ hands in anatomic position are NOT facing medial or
toward the_ median plane.

4. What is the_ anatomic relationship of the_ right arm to the_ left leg?

a_ Sagittal
.

b. Contralateral

c. Ipsilateral

d. Midsagittal



ANSWER: B



RATIONALTE

A_ The_ two legs are contralateral to each other and sagittal describes a_ plane of
division of the_ body created by an imaginary plane parallel to the_ median
plane.
B Contralateral structures are located on the_ opposite side of the_ body.
C Ipsilateral refers to structures on the_ same side of the_ body and the_ two
legs are contralateral to each other and thus are located on the_ opposite side
of the_ body.
D The_ two legs are contralateral to each other and midsagittal describes a_
plane that divides the_ body into right and left halves.
