Which way is which?
Three questions. An explanation after each. Get your bearings before you memorize another body diagram.

Question 1 of 3 · no timer
The breastbone is ___ to the spine.
Choose one answer. You can review every explanation, even if you get it wrong.
A note for the diagram-flipper.
You turn the page. The next illustration faces the other way. Suddenly the words you thought you knew feel unfamiliar again. That is the situation this little practice page is made for: a beginner pausing over a diagram, not a patient trying to interpret a scan.
Before answering, name the two structures being compared. Read the full sentence aloud. Then choose the term. If you miss a question, stay with the explanation for a moment rather than racing to the next screen.
The reference frame is anatomical position: standing upright, facing forward, with palms forward. Directions describe the person's body, even when an illustration changes viewpoint.
This is a fictional learning scene, not a testimonial. Three questions cannot tell you how much anatomy you know. They are simply a small place to begin.
Keep beside your notes
Your direction card.
Toward the front / toward the back.
Toward the midline / away from the midline.
On a limb: nearer its attachment / farther from its attachment.
Directions express a relationship. Keep both structures in your sentence.
A plain-text sheet. Your quiz answers are not printed or stored.
Practice the relationship
Build one complete direction sentence.
Name two general anatomy structures, choose the relationship you want to practise, and this page will format both directions. It does not check whether your chosen relationship is anatomically correct.

Is this quiz part of the app?
No. This page is an original companion from the publisher. Your answers stay in this browser session and do not sync into Body Unpacked. The app has its own learning activities.
Does a perfect score mean I know anatomy?
No. It means you answered these three questions correctly. There are no age comparisons, ability labels, badges or promises about exam performance.
Is this suitable for a formal anatomy course?
Use it as a short warm-up. Your course materials and instructor remain the reference for your syllabus, terminology and assessment requirements.
Can it explain symptoms or an imaging report?
No. A vocabulary exercise cannot interpret a personal health situation. Ask a qualified professional about your own report or symptoms.
Pick the next step that fits.
If you only came for a quick reminder, print the card and keep it with your notes. Nothing is locked behind a download. If you want broader, connected learning about food and the body on your phone, the app is the next place to explore.
For detailed clinical anatomy, professional training or examination preparation, use resources selected by your course or professional body. Body Unpacked is a general education app, not a replacement for those materials.
One term understood.
One more connection to explore.
You can stop at the card or keep learning. The App Store page shows the app's current features and availability.
