Where along a reflex arc would you find association neurons?
From the posterior root ganglion to the anterior horn of the spinal cord.
What is the medical term meaning back?
Typically when we talk about the back we talk about a particular part of the back, such as sacral, lumbar, thoracic, etc. But if you are looking at a term for the back of something in general, the term would be dorsal or posterior. In contrast, the generic term for the front of something is ventral or anterior.
What area is posterior to the central sulcus?
Postcentral gyrus, or the parietal lobe [Edit: The postcentral gyrus is posterior to the central sulcus, not anterior. The primary motor cortex is located directly anterior to the central sulcus.]
What is the process that controls the levels of endocrine secretions called?
overall it would be negative feedbackthe hypothalamus controls the secretion of anterior and posterior pituitary hormones and the pituitary controls the secretion of many other glands. It's a complicated process with many different pathways.
What pair of directional terms would always describe movement along the sagittal plane?
superior and inferior
Which direction is the opposite of posterior?
....behind/back and antonym would be anterior - in front/front
What is the medical term meaning pertaining to the front part?
The front part of something is the anterior part.Either anterior or ventral, depending on what part of the body you're referring to."Anterior" describes the front part of an anatomical structure.

What are the pros and cons of anterior and posterior hip replacements?
Posterior hip replacement is easier to perform (the majority of cases use this approach), however some studies indicate that it has a slightly higher risk off dislocation (but not significantly so).Anterior approach is more technical (and requires more training), and may require special operating tables (which have been linked to complications such as broken ankles), however the recovery time is shorter (by a few days), and has a slightly lower risk of dislocation than the posterior approach.Unless the surgeon is a regular user of the anterior approach (done 20+), I would go for the posterior approach.
Which anatomy sections would provide a view of internal anatomy of both kidneys?
Coronal section gives better view of kidney than transverse or sagittal section.
What is understood by the body planes?
The three basic planes of the body used in medicine are sagittal, coronal or frontal, and axial. The sagittal plane is a plane cutting down the body splitting the body into right and left sides. If the plane is through the middle of the body, making equal right and left halves, the plane is called mid-sagittal. The coronal plane is much like the sagittal, except the plane splits the body into anterior and posterior parts. The axial plane is the plane most often used in computed tomography (CT) scans. It splits the body into superior and inferior (or cephalad and caudad) parts. Other planes include oblique, which is like axial, but set at an angle.
