Question

your vertebral column is ______ to your shoulders. lateral inferior medial posterior

Explanation:

Anatomical terms of location:

• Lateral means away from the midline; shoulders are lateral to the spine, not the reverse.
• Inferior means lower in position; the vertebral column runs vertically, not below the shoulders.
• Medial means closer to the body's midline; the vertebral column is along the central midline of the torso, while the shoulders are positioned outward from this midline, so the spine is medial to the shoulders.
• Posterior means toward the back; both the vertebral column and shoulders have posterior aspects, so this does not describe their relative position correctly.

Answer:

medial
