Question

The directional term that means "away from the midline of the body" is:

A)inferior.
B) caudal.
C) lateral.
D) medial.
E) superior

Answer 1

The answer is C lateral

Step-by-step explanation:

the lateral midline defines several lines, which are located on the outer face of the body or of an extremity; we use them as anatomical directions of the body when a point moves away from that line. Among the main lines of the body we find:

- clavicular midline

- posterior midline

- anterior midline

- anterior midline of the extremities

- posterior midline of the extremities

- lateral midline
