Question

Muscles located close to the midline of the body may be called
A) rectus.
B) distalis.
C) proximal.
D) medialis.
E) lateralis.

Accepted Answer

Medialis refers to muscles that are located close to the midline of the body. "Rectus" refers to muscles that are straight or aligned with the midline, but not necessarily close to it. "Distalis" and "proximal" refer to muscles' location in relation to the limbs, rather than the midline. "Lateralis" refers to muscles that are located away from the midline.
