A

further away from origin

24
Q

another word for superior

A

cranial

25
Q

another word for inferior

A

26
Q

unilateral

A

refers to one side

27
Q

bilateral

A

refers to both side e.g. bilateral amputee

28
Q

unilateral

A

refers to one side - unilateral amputation above knee= one knee

29
Q

contralateral

A

refers to the opposite side E.g. a stroke affecting the right side of the brain may lead to contralateral paralysis of the left arm and left leg

30
Q

ipsilateral

A

refers to the same side of the body E.g. A tumour in the left lung will often metastasise to the ipsilateral lymph node on the patient’s body

31
Q
