Introduction:
Anatomy refers to the study of the interior and exterior structures of the body and their physical relationship between the different body parts. There are two different types of positions that can be used in order to study the anatomy of different body parts and these positions are supine and prone position.
Explanation of Solution
The supine position refers to a position wherein an individual lies horizontally with the face and torso facing upward. During surgical procedures, this position allows access to the peritoneal, pericardial, and thoracic regions along with head and neck
Therefore, it can be concluded that the supine position can be correctly matched with option (e) face up.
