a. Sagittal
b. Contralateral
c. Ipsilateral
d. Midsagittal
ANS: j B
Feedback
A The jtwo jlegs jare jcontralateral jto jeach jother. jSagittal jdescribes ja jplane jof
jdivision
of jthe jbody jcreated jby jan jimaginary jplane jparallel jto jthe jmedian jplane.

jthe
anatomic jrelationship jof jthe jright jarm jto jthe jleft jleg.
C Ipsilateral jrefers jto jstructures jon jthe jsame jside jof jthe jbody; jin jcontrast, jthe jtwo
jlegs jare jcontralateral jto jeach jother jand jthus jare jlocated jon jthe jopposite jside
jof
