Question

which term is the opposite of caudal and the same as superior: multiple choice sagittal anterior coronal distal cephalic

Explanation:

1. Recall anatomical directional terms:

• "Caudal" means toward the tail (inferior or lower part of the body).
• "Superior" means toward the head or upper part of the body.
• Analyze each option:
• "Sagittal" refers to a plane, not a directional term opposite to caudal.
• "Anterior" means toward the front, not related to superior/caudal opposition.
• "Coronal" (frontal) is a plane, not a directional term for this context.
• "Distal" means farther from the point of attachment, not related to superior/caudal.
• "Cephalic" means toward the head (superior), and is the opposite of caudal (toward the tail).

Answer:

E. cephalic
