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).
