3. Which plane is indicated in GREEN?

Explanation

The transverse plane is indicated in green because it is a horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower sections. It is perpendicular to the sagittal and frontal planes. The other options, such as the midway plane, midline plane, sagittal plane, and medial plane, do not accurately describe the plane indicated in green.

Submit
4. The coronal plane divides the body into _____ and _____ portions.

Explanation

The coronal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) portions. This means that it separates the body into two halves, with one half facing forward and the other facing backward.

Submit
5. The terms used to describe areas that are, for instance, close to the surface of the skin or further inside the body are _____ and _____.

Explanation

The terms "superficial" and "deep" are used to describe areas that are either close to the surface of the skin or further inside the body. "Superficial" refers to something that is near or on the surface, while "deep" refers to something that is further inside or away from the surface. These terms are commonly used in anatomy and medical terminology to describe the location or depth of structures within the body.

Submit
6. The areas of the hand which are closer to the body are referred to as _____, and those further away are referred to as ______, respectively.

Explanation

In anatomical terms, "proximal" refers to a position closer to the center of the body or point of attachment, while "distal" refers to a position further away from the center of the body or point of attachment. So, the areas of the hand closer to the body are referred to as "proximal," and those further away are referred to as "distal." This terminology is commonly used in anatomy to describe the relative positions of body parts.

Submit
7. Which plane is indicated in BLUE?

Explanation

The correct answer is the Coronal Plane. The Coronal Plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) sections. It is also known as the frontal plane. The other options mentioned, such as the Coronary Plane, Bisecting Plane, Transverse Plane, and Sagittal Plane, do not accurately describe the plane indicated in blue.

Submit
8. The Sagittal plane divides the body into ____ and ____. The terms used to describe the distance to this dividing plane are ___ and ___.

Explanation

The Sagittal plane divides the body into left and right sides. The terms used to describe the distance to this dividing plane are medial (closer to the midline) and lateral (farther from the midline).

Submit
9. The Transverse Plane divide the body into  _______ and  ______ portions.

Explanation

The transverse plane divides the body into superior and inferior portions. This means that it separates the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) sections.

Submit
10. The areas on the front and back of the hand are _________ and _______ respectively.

Explanation

In anatomical terms, the front of the hand is referred to as the palmar surface, while the back of the hand is called the dorsal surface. These terms are used to describe the different anatomical regions of the hand and are important for medical professionals when examining and treating hand injuries or conditions.
