Answer 1

Answer:

The pair of directional terms that is incorrect is superficial and lateral.

Explanation:

Directional terms are commonly used in biology and anatomy and indicate the position of body structures with respect to others or in relation to the body. These terms are usually paired with their opposite, which translates into the same or opposite position.

An example of directional terms are ipsilateral and contralateral, to indicate when ods structures are on the same side or on opposite sides.

In the case presented, superficial and lateral are two terms that are not opposed, since the opposite of superficial is deep and the lateral is medial.

Regarding other options:

    Superior and inferior , anterior and posterior , cranial and caudal are directional terms paired by an opposition relationship.
