This example again asks us to mark up this body using some of the directional terms that we just learned, so let's go ahead and give it a try. First off, it asks for an asterisk lateral to the left of the navel. So go ahead and think about that. Alright. The first thing I want to do is put a left and right on the body, but I'm also going to remind myself this body's facing me by putting a little smiley face on it.
Alright. We have the left. We have the right. Okay. Lateral to the left of the navel.
Well, lateral just means to the side. I mean, it's to the left, and the navel is in the middle. So, that one's pretty straightforward. So just a little bit to the left of the navel, I'm going to put an asterisk.
Second, we have an "o," intermediate to the nose and the right ear. Alright. Intermediate, think about that for a second. Intermediate means between on the left-to-right axis, so between the right ear and the nose is going to be right here. Alright.
Next, we have a plus sign on the hip, contralateral to the right knee. Think about that for a moment. Alright. We have "contralateral." Remember, lateral means side, and "contra" means against or opposite of something.
So, this is going to be the opposite side. So, we have the right knee here. The hip on the contralateral side is going to be the other side. It's going to be right here. So, I'm going to put a plus sign actually right close to where I put the asterisk.
And then finally, it says an "x" on the medial side of the left wrist. Alright, think about that for a second. Alright. This one might be a little tricky because when you hear medial, you might think the middle of the wrist. But remember, medial always means towards the midline of the body.
So, we're talking about the left wrist. The medial side of the left wrist is just going to be the side that's closest to the body, and we're going to put a big old "x" right there. Alright? So that's where my marks go. There you go.
