Which term means inside?

Which term means inside?

• A. Internal
• B. External
• C. Inferior
• D. Dorsal

Answer: (A)

Think about how we describe location relative to the body's boundaries. Internal means toward the interior, within the boundaries of a structure, as when we call the internal organs those housed inside the chest and abdominal cavities. External would be on the outside surface. Inferior describes being lower or beneath another structure, not inside vs outside. Dorsal refers to the back side of the body, not to being inside. So the term that means inside is internal.
