Here is the completed Anatomical Terminology Worksheet with correct anatomical terms and explanations for each answer:
---
1. The hands are *distal* to the feet.
- *Explanation:* "Distal" means farther from the point of attachment or origin. The hands are farther from the body's center than the feet, but in this context, it’s comparing relative positions—actually, the feet are distal to the hands? Wait — no! Let's think carefully:
- The hands are proximal to the feet? No — that doesn't make sense.
- Actually, the hands are superior to the feet, but distal refers to distance from the trunk.
- Correctly: The hands are proximal to the feet? No — the hands are not closer to the trunk than the feet.
- Actually, both are extremities, but the feet are inferior to the hands, and the hands are superior.
But the term distal applies to limbs: the hand is distal to the forearm, etc. However, comparing hands to feet directly using "distal" isn't standard.
→ This question likely wants superior.
✔ Correct Answer: superior
- The hands are superior to the feet (closer to the head).
2. The elbow is *proximal* to the wrist.
- *Explanation:* Proximal means closer to the point of attachment (the body). The elbow is closer to the shoulder than the wrist, so it's proximal to the wrist.
3. The knees are *inferior* to the waist.
- *Explanation:* Inferior means below. The knees are located below the waist.
4. The shoulder is *lateral* to the sternum.
- *Explanation:* Lateral means away from the midline. The shoulders are on the sides of the body, while the sternum is in the center, so the shoulders are lateral to the sternum.
5. The shoulder blade is *posterior* to the heart.
- *Explanation:* Posterior means toward the back. The scapula (shoulder blade) is located on the back, behind the heart.
6. The thumb is *radial* to the little finger.
- *Explanation:* In anatomical terms, "radial" refers to the side of the forearm near the radius bone (thumb side), and "ulnar" refers to the little finger side. So the thumb is radial to the little finger.
7. The Adam's apple is *inferior* to the brain.
- *Explanation:* The Adam's apple (thyroid cartilage) is in the neck, below the brain.
8. The nose is *medial* to the ears.
- *Explanation:* Medial means toward the midline. The nose is in the center of the face, between the ears, so it's medial to them.
9. The hip is *superior* to the knee.
- *Explanation:* The hip is higher up the leg than the knee.
10. The neck is *superior* to the arms.
- *Explanation:* The neck is above the arms in the body's vertical axis.
11. The biceps are *anterior* to the triceps.
- *Explanation:* Anterior means front. The biceps are on the front of the upper arm; the triceps are on the back.
12. The hamstrings are *posterior* to the quadriceps.
- *Explanation:* Hamstrings are on the back of the thigh; quadriceps are on the front. So hamstrings are posterior.
13. The brain is in the *cranial* cavity.
- *Explanation:* The cranial cavity houses the brain.
14. The heart is in the *thoracic* cavity.
- *Explanation:* The thoracic cavity includes the heart and lungs.
15. The bladder is in the *pelvic* cavity.
- *Explanation:* The pelvic cavity contains the urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum.
16. The lungs are in the *thoracic* cavity.
- *Explanation:* Lungs are located in the chest, within the thoracic cavity.
17. A *transverse* plane cuts the body into superior and inferior portions.
- *Explanation:* A transverse (horizontal) plane divides the body into top (superior) and bottom (inferior) parts.
18. A *midsagittal* plane cuts the body into equal right and left sides.
- *Explanation:* The midsagittal plane is a sagittal plane that divides the body exactly down the middle into equal right and left halves.
19. A plane making a superior to inferior cut between the sternum and shoulder is a *sagittal* plane.
- *Explanation:* A sagittal plane runs vertically from top to bottom. If it passes between the sternum and shoulder (i.e., along the midline or slightly off), it’s still a sagittal plane. Specifically, if it divides the body into unequal right and left parts, it’s a parasagittal plane. But since it says “between the sternum and shoulder,” it's likely referring to a sagittal plane (vertical, front-to-back).
✔ Answer: *sagittal*
20. A plane cutting the body diagonally is a *oblique* plane.
- *Explanation:* An oblique plane cuts at an angle, not aligned with the standard planes (sagittal, coronal, transverse).
