Question 2 • PA Human Anatomy & Physiology A 2026-2027 WHITE IC

Which structure is correctly described as exhibiting bilateral symmetry?

Answer
A
fingers that are distal to the arm
B
an eye on each side of the sagittal plane
C
a belly button along the medial area of the body
D
the head in the upper portion of the transverse plane

Explanation

Bilateral symmetry means the body can be divided into matching left and right halves by the sagittal plane. An eye on each side of that plane shows this arrangement, so “an eye on each side of the sagittal plane” is correct. The other choices describe directional locations, not bilateral symmetry.
