• Which of the following is CORRECT concerning the sagittal plane of the body?
• Parallel to the median plane
• Parallel to the frontal plane
• Parallel to the horizontal plane
• Parallel to the coronal plane
ANS: A
Feedback
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.

• When a client is in anatomic position, what is the surface of the palms of the hand
considered?
• Anterior
• Lateral
• Medial
• 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).

• What is the anatomic relationship of the right arm to the left leg?
• Sagittal
• Contralateral
• Ipsilateral
• Midsagittal
ANS: B
Feedback
A The two legs are contralateral to each other. Sagittal describes a plane of division
of the body created by an imaginary plane parallel to the median plane.
B Contralateral structures are located on the opposite side of the body, which is the
anatomic relationship of the right arm to the left leg.
C Ipsilateral refers to structures on the same side of the body; in contrast, the two
legs are contralateral to each other and thus are located on the opposite side of
the body.
D The two legs are contralateral to each other. Midsagittal describes a plane that
divides the body into right and left halves.

• Anterior
• External
• Deep
• Superficial
ANS: C
Feedback
A Muscles are deep to the skin.
B Muscles are deep to the skin.
