- A.
Superior
- B.
Inferior
- C.
Anterior
- D.
Medline
- E.
Lateral
- F.

Correct Answer
D. MedlineExplanation
The term "Medline" is not a commonly used directional term in anatomy. It is likely that this is a typographical error or a misspelling of "Medial." Medial refers to a position closer to the midline or center of the body. Therefore, A is pointing to a position that is closer to the midline or center of the body.Rate this question:

- A.
Chemical
- B.
Cellular
- C.
Tissue
- D.
Organ
- E.
