Describe the science of Anatomy. ✔Correct Answer-studies the form and structure of the
body. **The "What"

**The "How"
Explain how the studies of form and function are interrelated. ✔Correct Answer-inseparable.
To fully grasp WHAT something is we need to know what it does and HOW it does it. Vice verse,

Grow
Develop
Responsiveness
Regulation
Reproduce
Describe the levels of organization in the human body. ✔Correct
Answer-MOLECULAR/CHEMICAL- Atoms & Molecules "building blocks of life"
CELLULAR- Atoms & molecules form into the basic units of structure and function in organisms
TISSUE- similar cells group to perform common functions.
ORGAN- two or more tissues performing specific functions
ORGAN SYSTEM- organs work together to achieve common function
ORGANISM- Highest level, the living thing
Describe the anatomical position and its importance to the study of anatomy. ✔Correct
Answer-Upright Stance, feet parallel and flat on the floor, upper limbs at the sides of body,
palms faced anterior, head level, and eyes forward.
IMPORTANT because it provides consistency. Patients will not always be in the same position
but we still need to document specific points of reference for one doctor/nurse to the next to

deviated from.
