Why is the shape of an enzyme important? The shape of an enzyme is necessary so as to bind
to the specific reactants. The loss of shape makes enzyme non-functional as the enzyme then
cannot bine with the reactant in order to catalyze the reactionThe deviation from normal
anatomical position 1. Head is turn
2. Face is facing on lateral side
3. Palm is facing medially and at sides
4. Foots are not in same line or position
Location of body parts can be described by using Directional terms.
Directional terms are used in reference to certain point of attachment, centre or top position.
Distal location of certain body part means the body part is located farther from the point of
attachment or origin.
When 2 chemicals interact with one anther resulting in change of their own structure or
formation of combination product, it is known as chemical reaction
Scientific method A systematic series of steps through which the process of science occurs.
Hypothesis A statement about how we think the world works.
Variable Factors that might change during an experiment.
Controlled experiment An experiment in which the researcher controls all possible
variables so that only one changes and is tested.
Control A sample that doesn't include the variable being tested.
Theory A hypothesis that has been repeatedly tested over time and that explains a wide range
of scientific findings.
Anterior (ventral) Refers to the front of the body, of a body part, or describes a structure
whose anatomical course takes it towards the front of the body.
Posterior (dorsal) Refers to the back side of the body, of a body part, or describes a
structure whose anatomical course takes it towards the back of the body.
,Superior Describes structures toward or closer to the head.
Inferior Describes structures away from the head or toward the tail.
Proximal Refers to the closeness-or proximity-of a structure to its point of origin.
Distal Refers to the farness-or distance-of a structure from its point of origin.
Medial Closer to the midline.
Lateral Moving farther away from the midline.
Superficial Refers to a position that is closer to the surface of the body or closer to the skin.
Deep Refers to a position that is farther away from the skin's surface.
Abdominal region Area over the abdomen that is inferior to the diaphragm and superior to
the bony pelvis.
Acromial region Area over the lateral part of the shoulder that contains the acromion of
the scapula.

, Inguinal region Area along the inguinal ligament that divides the pelvis from the thigh.
The groin.
Lumbar region Lower back.
Mammary region Area around the breast.
Manual region General area of the hand.
Mental region Chin.
Nasal region Nose.
Nuchal region Ridge that runs along the back of the skull at the superior boundary of the
occipital region. The nape.
Occipital region General area of the back of the skull.
Oral region Mouth.
Orbital region Area around the eye.
Otic region Area around the ear.
Palmar region Anterior hand (the palm).
Patellar region Anterior part of the knee over the patella (kneecap).
Pedal region Foot.
Pelvic region Anterior pelvis.
Plantar region Bottom of the foot (sole).
Popliteal region Posterior side of the knee joint.
Pubic region Area over the pubic bone of the pelvis.
Scapular region Area over the scapula in the superior back.
Sternal region Area in the middle of the chest over the sternum.
Sural region Posterior part of the leg (the calf).
Tarsal region Proximal foot and ankle region.
