Where is the nose relative to the throat medial or proximal?
The nose is superior and slightly anterior to the throat. Both structures are midline, so one can't be called medial to the other.
What is the term for the end of a bone that is closest to the midline of the body?
The closest bone to the midline on the anterior (front) of the body is the sternum, the lower tip of the sternum is called the xyphoid process. Other than that, there really is no bone close to the midline of the body that has an end. On the back (posterior) is the vertebral column, but those bones do not have ends on them.
What is the sagittal plane of your body?
It is the imaginary line that goes from the center of your whole body (midsagittal). It goes vertically, through the center of your nose, between your eyes, throughout your whole body. All the other sagittal planes, on either side of the midsagittal, witch are parallel to the midsagittal are called parasagital.
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.
What is the alignment of the medial and lateral malleoli relative to each other?
The medial malleolus is closer to the midline. The lateral malleolus is toward the outside of the body.
The heart is located in what region of the chest?
The heart is located in the mediastium thoracic cavity, slightly left of the midline.

The latter genes are called?
alternative forms of gene are called as alleles. a pair of genes identical to each other are called true copies and of they are slightly different from each other are called as altered copies.
How do you tell whether something is medial or lateral?
A medial structure is closer to the midline of the body or lies in the midline of the body. A lateral structure is on the sides of the body, or closer to the sides than some other structure to which it's being compared.
What kind of symmetry does a seal have?
A seal has bilateral symmetry. This means that if you cut the seal into right and left halves (called a sagittal cut), the two halves will be basically identical to each other. This is the same time of symmetry seen in humans.
Is your little toe lateral or distal to the big toe?
No the little toe is lateral to the big toe, and so the big toe is medial to the little toe.
Is the nose superior or lateral to the pharynx?
The nose is superior to the pharynx. Both structures are midline, so neither is lateral to the other.

Are there little pyramids next to the pyramids of Giza?
Yes there are, They are called the pyramid of Cheops. One of them is slightly bigger than the other.
What is the alignment of the medial and lateral malleoli relative to each other?
The medial malleolus is closer to the midline. The lateral malleolus is toward the outside of the body.
