Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So today, we need to select the appropriate term that describes a structure that is closer to the body midline. So we're giving a diagram here with the midline of the body and certain errors are indicating the appropriate terms for each structure. Now as answer choice A we have superior B lateral C media, the inferior. Now in order to solve this problem, all we need to do is take a look at this diagram and we can see that the midline is going to be approached by only the medial structures in the sense that the arrow that contains the medial structures is pointing towards the midland as it is approaching it. And this is because the structures that are closer to the body mid line of all the answer choices given is going to be the media. For example, we have the superior and the superior is going to be referring to a structure that is above another structure or closer to the head. Then we have B which is the lateral, this lateral is going to be referring to a structure that is further away from the mid line because it is going in the opposite direction as the midline, that is also not the correct answer. And then we have d which is the inferior, which refers to a structure that is below another structure or is going closer to the feet, which is not the midline because of this answer choice C is the only correct answer. So we're going to be highlighting it as the final answer to this question. I really hope this helped and I hope to see you on the next video.
