Question

question 10
the lungs are located ______ to the heart.
○ inferior
○ superior
○ lateral
○ medial

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze anatomical directional terms:

• "Inferior" means below, but lungs are not below the heart.
• "Superior" means above, but lungs are not above the heart.
• "Medial" means toward the midline, but lungs are on the sides of the heart.
• "Lateral" means away from the midline. The heart is in the mediastinum, and the lungs are on either side (lateral) of the heart.

Answer:

C. lateral
