Away from the body surface; more internal

Away from the body surface; more internal

• A. Abdominal body cavity
• B. Deep
• C. Cataracts
• D. Arthritis

Answer: (B)

In anatomy, directional terms describe where something is located relative to the body's surface. The phrase “away from the body surface; more internal” corresponds to the term deep. Deep means toward the interior of the body, farther from the skin, contrasted with superficial, which is closer to the surface. For example, skin is superficial, underlying fat and muscles are deeper, and bones are even deeper. The other options do not describe location: the abdominal body cavity is a region inside the abdomen, cataracts are an eye condition, and arthritis is a joint disease. So, when something is farther from the surface and more internal, it is described as deep.
