Chiropractic Methods Exam 1 Practice Test

Which term refers to the front of the body?

Posterior Anterior Medial Lateral

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Anterior refers to the front of the body. In the standard anatomical position, the surface you see from the front is the anterior side, while the back is the posterior side. Medial means toward the midline of the body, and lateral means away from the midline toward the side. So, when asked which term denotes the front, anterior is correct because it designates the forward-facing aspect of the body. For example, the chest is on the anterior side, while the spine is on the posterior side.
