Question 15 (4 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

Standard anatomical position is the agreed-upon reference for body position when studying anatomy (option 2).

Explanation:

Anatomical position consists of the placement of the human body for its anatomical study, following certain norms established and accepted by convention.

• The body is observed from its front face.
• The members must be extended, showing their ventral surface and with a slight separation from the rest of the body.
• The hands show the palms, while the feet are hyperextended showing their backs.

This position is useful to provide the description of any area of the body in a specific posture, and that can be understood even by those who do not observe.

The other options are not correct because:

    1) Histological, refers to the study of cells and tissues.

    3) Superior, is a directional term, indicating something located at the top of the body or closer to the head.

    4) Mnemonic refers to the association of words used to remember names or lists of names.
