Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So in four legged animals, which of the following terms is synonymous with anterior as answer choice A, we have cephalad B L C dorsal, the ventral. So let's go over each of these answer choices so that we may solve the problem. Let's begin by answer choice B which is, and this is going to be referring to the tail end or the posterior end of the animal. And therefore, we're going to be canceling it up. Then we have dorsal and dorsal is going to be referring to the upper side or the back of the animal. So we're also going to be able to cancel it out. Then we have a ventral and ventral refers to the lower side or just the belly of the animal. Finally, we have A which is cephalad. Cephalad A is going to be referring to the anterior side of the animal. It is basically the contrary of this cole and therefore, it is going to be synonymous with anterior. So answer choice A is going to be the correct answer for this question, which is cephalad. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next video.
