Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by understanding the anatomical terms used to describe body surfaces. 'Anterior' refers to the front of the body, 'Posterior' refers to the back, 'Lateral' refers to the sides, and 'Medial' refers to the midline of the body.

Step 2: Identify the location of the buttocks and shoulder blades. The buttocks are located at the back of the pelvis, and the shoulder blades (scapulae) are located on the back of the thoracic region.

Step 3: Compare the anatomical terms with the location of these structures. Since both the buttocks and shoulder blades are on the back side of the body, they correspond to the 'Posterior' surface.

Step 4: Eliminate the other options. 'Anterior' refers to the front, which does not apply to these structures. 'Lateral' refers to the sides, which is not their location. 'Medial' refers to the midline, but the buttocks and shoulder blades are not directly on the midline.

Step 5: Conclude that the correct anatomical term for the body surface where the buttocks and shoulder blades are located is 'Posterior'.
