Record the key letters or terms in correspondingly numbered blanks below. Some terms are used more than once. Key: a. anterior d. inferior g. posterior j. superior b. distal e. lateral h. proximal k. transverse c. frontal f. medial i. sagittal In the anatomical position, the face and palms are on the __1__ body surface; the buttocks and shoulder blades are on the __2__ body surface; and the top of the head is the most __3__ part of the body. The ears are __4__ and __5__ to the shoulders and __6__ to the nose. The heart is __7__ to the vertebral column (spine) and __8__ to the lungs. The elbow is __9__ to the fingers but __10__ to the shoulder. The abdominopelvic cavity is __11__ to the thoracic cavity and __12__ to the spinal cavity. In humans, the dorsal surface can also be called the __13__ surface. However, in quadruped animals, the dorsal surface is the __14__ surface. If an incision cuts the heart into right and left parts, the section is a __15__ section; but if the heart is cut so that superior and inferior portions result, the section is a __16__ section.
