In the anatomical position, the face and palms are on the (1) body surface, the buttocks and shoulder blades are on the (2) body surface, and the top of the head if the most (3) part of the body. The ears are (4) to the shoulders and (5) to the nose. The heart is (6) to the spine and (7) to the lungs. The elbow is (8) to the fingers but (9) to the shoulder. In humans, the dorsal surface can also be called the (10), however, in four legged animals, the dorsal surface is the (11) surface.
If an incision cuts the heart into right and left parts, the section is a (12) section, but if the heart is cut so that anterior and posterior parts result, the section is a (13) section. You are told to cut an animal along two planes so that the paired kidneys are observable in both sections. The two sections that meet this requirement are the (14) and (15) sections.
Key Choices
a. Abdominopelvic
b. Cranial
c. Spinal
d. Thoracic
