In anatomical position, the face and palms are on the ___ body surface, the buttocks and shoulder blades are on the ___ body surface, and the top of the head is the most ___ part of the body. The ears are ___ to the shoulders and ___ to the nose. The heart is ___ to the spine and ___ to the lungs. The elbow is ___ to the fingers but ___ to the shoulder. In humans, the dorsal surface can also be called the ___ surface; however, in four-legged animals the dorsal surface is the ___ surface while the ventral surface is the ___ surface.

In anatomical position, the face and palms are on the anterior body surface, the buttocks and shoulder blades are on the posterior body surface, and the top of the head is the most superior part of the body. The ears are superior to the shoulders and lateral to the nose. The heart is anterior to the spine and medial to the lungs. The elbow is proximal to the fingers but distal to the shoulder. In humans, the dorsal surface can also be called the posterior surface; however, in four-legged animals the dorsal surface is the superior surface while the ventral surface is the inferior surface.
