Answer: a.) The knee is proximal to the ankle. (This means the knee is closer to the point of attachment to the trunk of the body or the main mass of the body compared to the ankle).
b.) The ear is lateral to the nose. (This indicates that the ear is farther out to the side of the body in relation to the nose, which is more central).
c.) The nose is superior to the lips. (This means that the nose is located above the lips).
d.) The lips are external to the teeth. (This means that the lips are on the outside, relative to the teeth which are within the mouth).
e.) The heart is posterior to the sternum (breastbone). (The heart is behind or at the back of the sternum in terms of its position in the body).
