Q1. In Diagram 1, structure A points to the region of the neck. What is the correct
anatomical term for this region?
A. Cephalic
B. Cervical [CORRECT]

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The brachial region is the anatomical term for the upper arm, between the
shoulder and the elbow. Antebrachial (A) is the forearm. Carpal (B) is the wrist.
Olecranal (D) is the posterior elbow (point of elbow).
Q3. In Diagram 1, structure C points to the front of the knee. What is this specific
regional term?
A. Popliteal
B. Crural

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The patellar region refers to the anterior knee, named for the patella
(kneecap). Popliteal (A) is the posterior knee (the "knee pit"). Crural (B) is the leg (shin
area). Sural (C) is the calf (posterior leg).
