Question:
Vertebral column extensors are located _____ to the vertebrae.
a. dorsal
b. lateral
c. medial
d. ventral
Anatomical Terms of Direction:
The terms used to describe the anatomical direction, are generally pairs of words with opposite meanings that highlight the movement or location of the body part relative to the anatomical position. When the body is in the anatomical position, it is standing upright, feet slightly apart and parallel, arms at sides with palms facing forward, with the head and eyes looking forward. Some of the pairs of words include medial/lateral (close to the midline/away from the midline), superior/inferior (towards the top/towards the bottom), and anterior/posterior (toward the front/toward the back).
