inner side of
6. Lateral - CORRECT ANSWERS-away from the midline of the body; on the
outer side of
7. Intermediate - CORRECT ANSWERS-between a more medial and a more
lateral structure
8. Proximal - CORRECT ANSWERS-closer to the origin of the body part or the
point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
9. Distal - CORRECT ANSWERS-farther from the origin of a body part or the
point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
10. Superficial - CORRECT ANSWERS-toward or at the body surface
11. Deep (internal) - CORRECT ANSWERS-away from the body surface; more
internal
12. Anatomical Position - CORRECT ANSWERS-erect, feet forward, arms at
side with palms facing forward, head facing forward, internationally know
13. Axial - CORRECT ANSWERS-fundamental division of our body. Makes up
the main axis of our body, includes the head, neck, and trunk.
, 14. Appendicular - CORRECT ANSWERS-fundamental division of our body.
relating to the limbs and their attachments to the axis.
