Identify the meaning of each anatomical term provided in the list. For example, 'Anterior' generally refers to the front part of the body.
Match each term to the definition that best describes its meaning in anatomical context. For instance, if a term refers to a direction toward the front of the body, find the definition that matches this description.
Check the definitions that describe relative positions or directions, such as 'closer to the midline' or 'toward the back', and match them with the appropriate anatomical terms.
For terms that describe relative proximity to a reference point, like 'closer to the point of origin' or 'farther away from the point of origin', ensure they are correctly matched to terms like 'Proximal' or 'Distal'.
Review your matches to ensure that each term is paired with its correct definition based on standard anatomical orientation and terminology.
