Question

question 21
anterior is to posterior as dorsal is to ______.
○ inferior
○ ventral
○ central
○ superior

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze anatomical directional terms. Anterior (front) and posterior (back) are opposite. Dorsal (back, or towards the back in anatomy) has its opposite as ventral (front, or towards the front). Inferior (below), central (middle), and superior (above) do not form the correct opposite pair with dorsal as anterior - posterior do.

Answer:

B. ventral
