Head and lateralarrow_forwardDirections Write in a COMPLETE Sentence a description of the “faux wound” that is located at the surface of the body at the TIP OF THE SWORD. In your sentence you need to include the following information: Left vs right side of the body Regional terms (e.g., brachial, femoral, pectoral, antebrachial, axillary, among many others…see your PPTX for a list) Orientation terms (e.g., anterior, poster, lateral, medial, proximal, distal, superior, inferior). Bone, suture, muscle landmarks that will help you pinpoint the location. DISTANCES (you can use inches or cm) as needed to increase your specificity. REMINDERS: on the arms and legs you are to use proximal and distal. I won’t accept superior and inferior with the arms and legs. DO NOT use proximal and distal to describe things on the head or torso.arrow_forwardTERMS TO KNOW (matching): Anterior (cranial) a. toward the belly b. toward the side c. toward the midline d. toward the head e. toward the backbone f. toward the tail Posterior (caudal) Dorsal (superior) Ventral (inferior) Lateral Medial Proximal g. lying further from the point of reference Distal h. lying near the point of referencearrow_forward
