• For Question 147: "Caudal" is the term for toward the lower end of the body. "Proximal" is related to nearness to the origin, "medial" to the middle, and "lateral" to the side.
• For Question 148: In medical terminology, "melano - " means black, "carcin - " means cancer, and "oma" means tumor. So the correct division is melano/carcin/oma.
