Which of the following terms would be most appropriate when describing the location of the elbow in relation to the sternum?
  1. Anterior
  2. Inferior
  3. Proximal
  4. Lateral
  5. Medial
Explanation
Answer - D - The most appropriate term to use when describing the location of the elbow in relation to the sternum is lateral. The term lateral refers to points farther from the midline (an imaginary line that divided the body into left and right halves). Thus, the sternum is considered medial (toward the midline) when compared to the elbow.
