Question

select the pair of correct opposites:
multiple choice
superior and lateral
transverse and horizontal
distal and proximal
coronal and frontal
cephalic and proximal

Explanation:

To determine the correct pair of opposites, we analyze each option:

• "superior" (toward the head/upper part) and "lateral" (toward the side) are not opposites.
• "transverse" (a plane dividing the body into upper and lower) and "horizontal" are similar, not opposites.
• "distal" (farther from the point of attachment) and "proximal" (closer to the point of attachment) are anatomical opposites.
• "coronal" and "frontal" refer to the same plane (dividing the body into front and back), so they are not opposites.
• "cephalic" (toward the head) and "proximal" (closer to attachment) are not opposites.

Answer:

C. distal and proximal
