Question

1. what position describes lying flat on your back and face up?

○ adducted
○ inverted
○ supine
○ prone

1. en/cephal/o- refers to the:

○ cerebellum
○ spinal cord
○ brain
○ nerve root

Explanation:

• For question 7:
• "Adducted" refers to a movement of a body part towards the mid - line of the body, not a lying position.
• "Inverted" means turned upside down or inside out, not a standard lying position term.
• "Supine" is the correct term for lying flat on the back with the face up.
• "Prone" means lying face down.
• For question 8:
• "En/cephal/o -" is a combining form. "Cephal/o" is from the Greek word for head, and in medical terminology, it is related to the brain.
• "Cerebellum" is a part of the brain, but the combining form specifically refers to the whole brain conceptually.
• "Spinal cord" is a different structure (the main pathway of the nervous system running down the back).
• "Nerve root" is a part of a nerve that attaches to the spinal cord.

Answer:

1. supine
2. brain
