A) a term for the body sliced by the sagittal plane B) the view of a person lying down C) the position assumed by anatomical descriptions D) a term for things more distant from the body's midline E) none of the above E

This is the imaginary plane that divides the body into transverse or cross-sections

A) coronal plane B) medial plane C) superior plane D) sagittal plane E) none of the above none of the above

This refers to something further from the surface of the body

A) lateral B) inferior C) sagittal D) superficial E) none of the above none of the above

Referring to the image above, all of the following statements are true except:

The patient is prone

TRUE OR FALSE: the head is superior to the neck?

True

This is the view of the body from the front

anterior aspect

This includes the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis

central regions of the body

The imaginary plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections

coronal plane

This term refers to things more distant from the heart

distal

This term refers to things closer to the feet

inferior

This term refers to things farther from the midline of the body

lateral

This is the view of the body from the side

lateral aspect

This term refers to things closer to the midline of the body

medial

This is the view of the body from the back

none of the above

The position of the body when it is lying, face downward

prone

This term refers to things closer to the heart

proximal

This is the imaginary plane that divides the body into left and right sides

sagittal plane

All anatomical descriptions assume that the patient is in this position

standard anatomical position

In this body position, the head faces forward, the palms of the hands face forward, and the soles of the feet face downward

standard anatomical position

This term refers to things closer to the surface of the body

superficial

This term refers to thing closer to the head

superior

The position of the body when lying down with its face upward

supine

These are included in the lower limb regions

thigh, crus (leg), and foot

This includes the brachium (arm), antebrachium (forearm), and hand

upper limb regions
