1. Which surface of the body is visualized by the clinician when performing
an extraoral examination of the patient’s eyes?
a. Anterior
b. Posterior
c. Superior

ANS: A
Feedback
A The patient’s eyes are visualized on the anterior surface of the
patient’s body.
B The patient’s eyes would NOT be easily visualized on the posterior
of the patient’s body.
C The patient’s eyes would NOT be easily visualized on the superior
surface of the patient’s body.

A A sagittal plane is parallel to the median plane.
B A sagittal plane is NOT parallel to the frontal plane but perpendicular.
C A horizontal plane is perpendicular to the median plane. A sagittal
plane is parallel to the median plane. Thus a horizontal plane is
perpendicular to a
sagittal plane.
D A sagittal plane is NOT parallel to the coronal plane but
perpendicular.

3. When a patient is in anatomic position, what is the surface of the palms
of the hand considered?
a. Anterior
b. Lateral
c. Medial
d. Posterior
ANS: A
Feedback
A The palms of the hands in anatomic position are facing toward the
front and are anterior (or ventral).
B The palms of the hands in anatomic position are NOT facing lateral
or away from the median plane but are facing toward the front and
are anterior (or ventral).
C The palms of the hands in anatomic position are NOT facing medial
or toward the median plane but are facing toward the front and are
anterior (or ventral).
D The palms of the hands in anatomic position are NOT facing toward
the posterior or back of the body but are facing toward the front and
are anterior (or ventral).
