This answer uses the complete four-choice version of OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 1 Review Question 22. Region boundaries describe areas rather than exact point coordinates. The explanation does not infer a patient's measurements or treat every anterior and posterior trunk region as a precise horizontal band.
