Match the statement on the left with the correct term on the right. 

On this educational page, we explore anatomical directional terms through a matching exercise. Here's how the terms match with anatomical positions:

1. **The sternum is _____ to the heart.**
   - **Match:** anterior/ventral
  
2. **The right foot is _____ to the left hand.**
   - **Match:** contralateral

3. **The lungs are _____ to the ribs.**
   - **Match:** deep

4. **Compared to the foot the knee is _____ to the hip.**
   - **Match:** proximal

5. **The thoracic region is _____ to the sternum.**
   - **Match:** posterior/dorsal

6. **The knees are _____ to the hips.**
   - **Match:** medial

7. **The nose is _____ to the eyes.**
   - **Match:** lateral

8. **The cranium is _____ to the mental region.**
   - **Match:** superior

9. **The gluteal region is _____ to the pelvic region.**
   - **Match:** inferior

10. **The skin is _____ to the muscles and skeleton.**
    - **Match:** superficial

This matching exercise is designed to help students understand and correctly identify the anatomical positions and orientations within the human body. The terms are essential for accurately describing locations on the body in both clinical and educational settings.
