Question

Match the anatomical reference to the correct body part: Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

Even though the question does not provide us with the body parts, we can still find them by looking up the definitions of each word.

a. buccal  -- refers to the buccal/oral cavity, that is, the mouth.

b. mental  -- refers to the mind and the process of thinking. Not to be confused with the insult "mental", used as a synonym for "crazy".

c. lumbar  - refers to the lower part of the back. It is common for people to have lumbar pains when they exercise improperly.

d. pollex  -- refers to the first digit of the forelimb. In our case, it is the thumb.

e. hallux  - refers to the first digit of the hind foot. In our case, it is the big toe.

f. sural - refers to the calf of the leg.

The words above come from Latin roots. It is common in science for words to be derived from Greek and Latin.
