Question

The heart is ________ to the lungs.
A) lateral
B) medial
C) posterior
D) proximal
E) distal

The term "medial" refers to a position closer to the midline of the body. The heart is located in the center of the chest, closer to the midline than the lungs, which are located more laterally on either side. Therefore, the heart is medial to the lungs.
