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
CORRECT ANSWER>> 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.

3. When a patient is in anatomic position, what is the surface of the palms of the hand considered?
a. Anterior
b. Lateral
c. Medial
d. Posterior
CORRECT ANSWER>> A
Feedback
A The palms of the hands in anatomic position are facing toward the front and are anterior (or ventral).
TB
B The palms of the hands in anatomic position are NOT facing lateral or away
from the median plane but are facing toward the front and are anterior (or ventral).

4. What is the anatomic relationship of the right arm to the left leg?
a. Sagittal
b. Contralateral
c. Ipsilateral
d. Midsagittal
CORRECT ANSWER>> B
Feedback
A The two legs are contralateral to each other. 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, which is the anatomic
relationship of the right arm to the left leg.
C Ipsilateral refers to structures on the same side of the body; in contrast, 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. Midsagittal describes a plane that divides the body into
right and left halves.
