How is 'Anterior' best defined in anatomical terms?

  1. Located at the back of an organ

  2. Located near the front of an organ

  3. Situated above or directed upward

  4. Related to tension or pressure

The correct answer is: Located near the front of an organ

'Anterior' in anatomical terms refers to structures that are located towards the front of the body or an organ. This definition aligns precisely with the concept of orientation in anatomy, where 'anterior' indicates positions that are forward or in front of other structures. In contrast, options that suggest locations at the back of an organ or those that are situated above do not fit with the definition of 'anterior.' Additionally, the relation to tension or pressure is unrelated to the concept of anatomical positioning. Hence, the answer provided accurately reflects the definition of 'anterior' within anatomical terminology.
