Explanation:

Identify the target anatomical terms

Using the Anatomical Directional Terms knowledge point, we analyze the unlabeled boxes on the right side of the diagram. The diagram shows a female figure in a lateral (side) view. There are two arrows pointing in opposite directions relative to the front and back of the body:

• One arrow points anteriorly (toward the front of the body).
• The other arrow points posteriorly (toward the back of the body).

Determine the front-facing term

Using the Posterior and Anterior knowledge point

• The upper box on the right has a line pointing toward the front (anterior) side of the body.
• Therefore, this label represents Anterior (or Ventral).

Determine the back-facing term

Using the Posterior and Anterior knowledge point

• The lower box on the right has a line pointing toward the back (posterior) side of the body.
• Therefore, this label represents Posterior (or Dorsal).

Answer:

Based on the lateral view of the body showing directional terms:

• The upper right blank pointing toward the front of the body is <blank>Anterior</blank>.
• The lower right blank pointing toward the back of the body is <blank>Posterior</blank>.
