Question

deep means:
a closer to the head
b toward the middle or midline of the body
c closer than another structure to the point of attachment to the trunk
d away from the surface
e toward the back of the body

Explanation:

In anatomical terminology, "deep" is used to describe a position that is away from the surface of the body. For example, internal organs are deep to the skin.

• Option A: "Closer to the head" is described by terms like "superior" in anatomy, not "deep".
• Option B: "Toward the middle or midline of the body" is described by the term "medial".
• Option C: "Closer than another structure to the point of attachment to the trunk" is described by the term "proximal" (especially for limbs).
• Option E: "Toward the back of the body" is described by the term "posterior".

Answer:

D. away from the surface
