Question

1. match the directional term the correct description. directional terms are in alphabetical order.

hint: each directional term has an opposite. match the pairs up first, then make your selections.
— the front of the body
— the back of the body
— towards the top of the body
— towards the bottom of the body
— towards the middle of the body
— away from the middle of the body
— towards the trunk of the body
— away from the trunk of the body
— on the surface of the body
— inside the surface of the body
— the front of organs/organ cavities
— the back of organs/organ cavities
a. anterior
b. deep
c. distal
d. dorsal
e. inferior
f. lateral
g. medial
h. posterior
i. proximal
j. superficial
k. superior
l. ventral

1. match the number on the skull to the correct cranial bone or muscle listed below.

— orbicularis oris
— mandible
— orbicularis oculi
— temporalis
— zygomatic process
— maxilla

Explanation:

Question 6 (Matching Directional Terms)

1. "The front of the body" matches with Anterior (A) or Ventral (L). Anterior is more general for body front, Ventral can also refer to front (especially in anatomical position). But Anterior (A) is a primary term for body front.
2. "The back of the body" matches Posterior (H) or Dorsal (D). Posterior (H) is the term for the back of the body.
3. "Towards the top of the body" matches Superior (K).
4. "Towards the bottom of the body" matches Inferior (E).
5. "Towards the middle of the body" matches Medial (G).
6. "Away from the middle of the body" matches Lateral (F).
7. "Towards the trunk of the body" matches Proximal (I) (proximal is closer to the point of attachment, like trunk for limbs).
8. "Away from the trunk of the body" matches Distal (C) (distal is farther from the trunk).
9. "On the surface of the body" matches Superficial (J).
10. "Inside the surface of the body" matches Deep (B).
11. "The front of organs/organ cavities" matches Ventral (L) (ventral is used for the front of organs/cavities).
12. "The back of organs/organ cavities" matches Dorsal (D) (dorsal is used for the back of organs/cavities).

• Orbicularis oris: Muscle around the mouth, likely matches D (labeled as muscle near mouth).
• Mandible: Lower jaw bone, matches C (lower jaw structure).
• Orbicularis oculi: Muscle around the eye, matches B (near eye).
• Temporalis: Muscle on the temple, matches A (temporal region).
• Zygomatic process: Part of the temporal bone near zygoma, matches E (near the zygomatic area).
• Maxilla: Upper jaw bone, matches F (upper jaw structure).

Answer:

(Question 6):

1. The front of the body - A. Anterior
2. The back of the body - H. Posterior
3. Towards the top of the body - K. Superior
4. Towards the bottom of the body - E. Inferior
5. Towards the middle of the body - G. Medial
6. Away from the middle of the body - F. Lateral
7. Towards the trunk of the body - I. Proximal
8. Away from the trunk of the body - C. Distal
9. On the surface of the body - J. Superficial
10. Inside the surface of the body - B. Deep
11. The front of organs/organ cavities - L. Ventral
12. The back of organs/organ cavities - D. Dorsal
