An artist draws a model lying with the chest down and palms facing the floor. In anatomical terms, the model’s body position is:

• Supine with pronated forearms

• Prone with supinated forearms

• Prone with pronated forearms

• Supine with inverted feet

If a dancer lifts her arm sideways away from her body, the movement at the shoulder joint is:

• Adduction in the coronal plane

• Abduction in the coronal plane

• Abduction in the transverse plane

• Flexion in the sagittal plane

A sculpture is sliced to show the front and back halves of the figure. This sectioning was done along the:

• Sagittal plane

• Transverse plane

• Coronal plane

• Median plane

During a yoga pose, the sole of the right foot turns medially while the left foot remains flat. The right foot’s movement is:
