Question 1 of 5

What does concave mean?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Concave means rounded inward. When something is concave, it curves inwards like the interior of a bowl. Choice B, 'Rounded outward,' is incorrect as this describes a convex shape, not concave. Choice C, 'Straight,' is incorrect as concave refers to a curved shape, not a straight one. Choice D, 'Flat,' is also incorrect as it does not describe the inward curve characteristic of concave shapes.

What does Distal mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Distal means further away from the point of attachment. This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe the location of a body part relative to the point of attachment or the trunk. Choice A is incorrect because it describes the term Proximal, which means closer to the point of attachment. Choice C is incorrect as it describes the term Medial, which means toward the middle of the body. Choice D is incorrect as it describes the term Superficial, which means on or near the surface.
