An Overview of Anatomy Exercise 1: Anatomical Position QUESTION: A. Explain why it is important to have a universally accepted anatomical position when studying the structure of humans. Having a universally accepted anatomical positional is important to avoid confusion. It creates a reference point so that no matter language or background of different people‚ they can still communicate efficiently. Exercise 2: Surface Anatomy A. Review Figure 3.

The two systems that I am referring to are the endocrine and nervous systems. they help to regulate our bodies back to our normal state to help to maintain healthy functioning. There are two systems that work with one another to signal the brain when something is happening; they are called the controlling centers of the human body. Even though‚ these systems also work as individuals in the body. In similarity‚ the endocrine and nervous system works together as a similar

The Endocrine System The endocrine system regulates the functioning of every cell‚ tissue‚ and organ in the body. It acts to maintain a stable internal body environment‚ regardless of changes occurring within or outside of the body. Endocrine cells have the ability to sense and respond to changes via the excretion of specific chemicals known as hormones. The endocrine system is one of the body’s two major communication systems‚ the nervous system being the other. Communication within the nervous
