Key: anterior, inferior, posterior, superior, distal, lateral, proximal, transverse, frontal, medial, sagittal In the anatomical position, the umbilicus and knees are on the _1_superior body surface; the calvos and shoulder blades are on the _2_posterior body surface; and the soles of the feet are the most _3_inferior part of the body. The ears are _4_lateral and _5_distal to the shoulders and _6_medial to the nose. The breastbone is _7_anterior to the vertebral column (spine) and _8_superior to the shoulders. The elbow is _9_distal to the shoulder but _10_proximal to the fingers. The thoracic cavity is _11_superior to the abdominopelvic cavity and _12_anterior to the spinal cavity. In humans, the ventral surface can also be called the _13_anterior surface; however, in quadruped animals, the ventral surface is the _14_inferior surface. If an incision cuts the brain into superior and inferior parts, the section is a _15_sagittal section; but if the brain is cut so that anterior and posterior portions result, the section is a _16_frontal section. You are told to cut a dissected animal along two planes so that the lungs are observable in both sections. The body plane that would not meet these criteria is _17_transverse.
