Question 2 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Alina was called up to the front of her anatomy class and was asked to stand in the anatomical position. She was standing with her head facing forward, her legs slightly apart, her arms to her sides, and her palms facing her backside. How should she adjust her stance to be in the anatomical position?

Answer
A
Alina should be lying down.
B
Alina should have her head turned to the side.
C
Alina’s toes should be pointed outward.
D
Alina’s palms should be facing forward.

Explanation

In the anatomical position, a person stands upright facing forward with arms at the sides and palms turned forward. Alina’s stance is already upright with her head facing forward, so she should rotate her hands until her palms face forward. The correct choice is D, “Alina’s palms should be facing forward.”
