,unit 01: introduction to anatomical terms
exploring anatomy & physiology in the laboratory 4th edition, test bank
1. which of the following statements accurately defines anterior?
A) toward or on the back of the body
B) toward or on the front of the body
C) away from the head or toward the tail
D) toward the body surface; closer to the skin
answer: b pts: 1 top: unit 01 pre-lab exercise
the anatomical term anterior refers to the front (ventral) side of the body when the body is in the
standard anatomical position. for example, the sternum (breastbone) is anterior to the heart, and the
kneecap (patella) is anterior to the knee joint.
2. which of the following statements accurately defines posterior?
A) toward or on the back of the body
B) away from the body surface; further away from the skin
C) away from the head or toward the tail
D) toward the body surface; closer to the skin
answer: a pts: 1 top: unit 01 pre-lab exercise
posterior refers to the back (dorsal) side of the body in anatomical position. for example, the
vertebral column is posterior to the sternum, and the shoulder blades are posterior to the rib cage.
3. which of the following statements accurately defines superior?
A) away from the body surface; further away from the skin
B) toward or on the back of the body
C) away from the head or toward the tail
D) toward the head or away from the tail
answer: d pts: 1 top: unit 01 pre-lab exercise
the term superior means above another structure or closer to the head. for example, the head is
superior to the neck, and the chest is superior to the abdomen.
4. which of the following statements accurately defines inferior?
A) toward the body surface; closer to the skin
B) toward or on the back of the body
C) away from the head or toward the tail
D) away from the body surface; further away from the skin
answer: c pts: 1 top: unit 01 pre-lab exercise
inferior means below another structure or farther from the head. it indicates a position toward the
feet in the anatomical position. for example, the stomach is inferior to the heart, and the knees are
inferior to the hips.
5. which of the following statements accurately defines proximal?
A) toward the body surface; closer to the skin
B) away from the head or toward the tail
C) closer to the point of origin, generally of a limb
D) toward or on the front of the body
answer: c pts: 1 top: unit 01 pre-lab exercise
, proximal describes a structure that is closer to the attachment point or origin of a limb. for example,
the elbow is proximal to the wrist because it is closer to the shoulder, which is the limb's point of
attachment.
6. which of the following statements accurately defines distal?
A) toward the body surface; closer to the skin
B) away from the body surface; further away from the skin
C) closer to the point of origin, generally of a limb
D) away from the point of origin, generally of a limb
answer: d pts: 1 top: unit 01 pre-lab exercise
distal refers to a structure that is farther from the point of origin or attachment, particularly in the
limbs. for example, the fingers are distal to the wrist, and the ankle is distal to the knee.
7. which of the following statements accurately defines medial?
A) closer to the midline (imaginary line running down the middle of the body)
B) away from an imaginary line running around the middle of the body
C) closer to an imaginary line running around the middle of the body
D) away from the midline (imaginary line running down the middle of the body)
answer: a pts: 1 top: unit 01 pre-lab exercise
the term medial means closer to the body's midline, which is the imaginary
vertical line dividing the body into equal right and left halves. for example, the
nose is medial to the eyes because it is closer to the midline
8. which of the following statements accurately defines lateral?
A) closer to the midline (imaginary line running down the middle of the body)
B) away from an imaginary line running around the middle of the body
C) closer to an imaginary line running around the middle of the body
D) away from the midline (imaginary line running down the middle of the body)
answer: d pts: 1 top: unit 01 pre-lab exercise
the anatomical term lateral means farther away from the body's midline. the
midline is an imaginary vertical line dividing the body into equal right and left
halves. structures located farther from this line are described as lateral. for
example, the ears are lateral to the nose, and the arms are lateral to the chest.
9. which of the following statements accurately defines superficial?
A) toward the body surface; closer to the skin
B) away from the head or toward the tail
C) toward or on the front of the body
D) away from the body surface; further away from the skin
answer: a pts: 1 top: unit 01 pre-lab exercise
the term superficial describes structures that are closer to or located at the body's surface. for
example, the skin is superficial to the muscles, and superficial veins lie just beneath the skin.
10. which of the following statements accurately defines deep?
A) toward the body surface; closer to the skin
B) away from the body surface; further away from the skin
C) toward the torso of the body
D) away from the point of origin, generally of a limb
answer: b pts: 1 top: unit 01 pre-lab exercise
