the hallux is proximal to the tarsal.
true
false
question 27 (1 point)
another name for anterior is ____?
ventral
superior
superficial
posterior

Explanation:

Question 26

To determine if the hallux is proximal to the tarsal, we recall anatomical terms: "proximal" means closer to the point of attachment (e.g., the trunk for limbs). The tarsal bones are part of the foot's posterior (closer to the leg), and the hallux (big toe) is distal (farther from the leg) relative to the tarsal. So the statement is false.

In anatomical terminology, "anterior" (toward the front of the body) is synonymous with "ventral" (especially in human/animal anatomy, ventral refers to the front or belly side). "Superior" means above, "superficial" means near the surface, and "posterior" is opposite of anterior (back). So the correct term is Ventral.

Answer:

False
