Step 1
The anatomical position is a standardized position in which the body is standing upright, arms straight, toes facing forward, palms facing anteriorly, and feet slightly apart. Therefore, the description "palms facing posteriorly" is incorrect. Show moreā¦

Anatomical Terms Worksheet Fill in the missing words to make the passage correct using words from the word bank. reference, side, stand, body, arms, hands, anatomical, forward All anatomical terms have a reference point which is called the anatomical position. This is a body position where you stand up, head straight and arms by your side, with the palm of your hands facing forward. 2 The concept of anatomical position stipulates all of the following EXCEPT the a. Palms are facing forward c. Arms are held down to the sides b. Feet are slightly apart d. Mouth is closed Complete these sentences using the terms superior and inferior. 3 The hands are to the feet 4 The knees are to the waist. Complete these sentences using the terms anterior and posterior. 5 The heel is to the toes. 6 The biceps are to the triceps. Complete these sentences using the terms lateral and medial. 7 The arms are to the midline. 8 The neck is to the arms. Circle the answer that will make the sentence correct. 9 The big toe is on the lateral/medial side of the foot? 10 The shoulder blade is on the anterior/posterior side of the body? 11 The hand is distal/proximal to the elbow? 12 The hips are superior/inferior to the shoulders? 13 The shoulders are medial/lateral to the spine? 14 The knee is distal/proximal to the ankle? 15 What is the importance of having the anatomical position? Name the Plane 16 A plane divides the body into equal right and left halves. 17 A plane divides the body into unequal right and left halves. 18 A plane divides the body into front and back halves. 19 A plane divides the body into upper and lower halves. 20 A plane passes through the breast, hip, and knee on only one side of the body. a. Coronal b. Transverse c. Midsagittal d. Parasagittal
