Introduction:
The anatomical positions are important in identifying the location of body parts. Based on the anatomical position, it is called as posterior, ventral, anterior, dorsal, superior, medial, inferior, proximal, and so on.

Answer to Problem 1TYR
Correct answer:
Keeping the mouth close is not considered as anatomical position. Therefore, option dis correct.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reasons for the correct statement:
When the mouth is closed, it makes a voluntary movement and it could not be taken as an anatomical position. Anatomical position should be of involuntary movement.
Option (d) is given as, “mouth closed”.
While standing in an anatomical position, one must open the mouth a little wider.
Hence, option (d)is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as, “feet together”.
While standing in anatomical position, the knees should touch each other on the lateral side and feet should be together by touching at the ankles. Hence, it is a wrong answer
Option (b) is given as, “feet flat on the floor”.
In anatomical position, while standing upright, the feet should be flat on the floor by touching each other at the ankles. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as, “palms forward”.
While standing upright in anatomical position, elbow should touch the adjacent of the torsoand the palms should be facing forward with fingers open.Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (e) is given as, “arms down to side”.
While standing in anatomical position, the arms should be touching the sides of the torso and it should be let freely down with palms facing forward. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are incorrect.
In anatomical position, all the body parts must be able to identify easily.
