Question 7 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Which best describes the location and direction of the sternal region to the umbilical region?

Answer
A
The sternal region is anterior to the umbilical region.
B
The sternal region is posterior to the umbilical region.
C
The sternal region is inferior to the umbilical region.
D
The sternal region is superior to the umbilical region.

Explanation

The sternal region is over the breastbone in the chest, while the umbilical region is around the navel. In anatomical position, the chest is above the navel, so the sternal region is superior to the umbilical region. “Superior” means toward the head; “inferior” means toward the feet.
