- 6.
DEFINE THE FOLLOWING POSITIONS:IPILATERAL VS CONTRALATERAL
Explanation
The terms "ipsilateral" and "contralateral" are used to describe the relationship between two structures or positions in the body. Ipsilateral refers to two structures or positions that are on the same side of the body, while contralateral refers to two structures or positions that are on opposite sides of the body. For example, if we talk about the relationship between the right arm and the right leg, they are ipsilateral because they are on the same side of the body. On the other hand, the relationship between the right arm and the left leg is contralateral because they are on opposite sides of the body. "Same side and opposite side" is a broader term that encompasses both ipsilateral and contralateral relationships.Rate this question:
