Question 10 • Sports Medicine 1a

What is TRUE about the longitudinal axis?

Answer
A
Its line runs from the head down to the feet.
B
It cuts through the body from the front to the back.
C
Its line crosses the neck from one side of the shoulder to the other side.
D
It cuts through the body from left to right.

Explanation

The longitudinal axis runs lengthwise through the body, from the head toward the feet. The front-to-back direction describes the anteroposterior axis, while left-to-right describes the mediolateral axis. Therefore, “Its line runs from the head down to the feet” is true.
