What is anatomy?
The study of the structure and shape of the body and it's parts.
What is the Integumentary system and what does it do?
The Integumentary system is the skin and it forms the external body covering, protects deeper tissue from injury, synthesizes vitamin D, and location of cutaneous nerve receptors
What is Median(Midsagittal)?
It divides the body in left and right halves.
What are the two forms of Nutrients the body needs?
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals
Why must Homeostasis be maintained?
For normal body functioning and to sustain life.
What is Physiology?

What is Anterior?
Anterior- Front of the body
Why do our body's need water?
To help keep stable body temperature and provide help for metabolic reaction
What are the main components job?
The receptor receives information on the changing environment, the control centre processes the information received by the receptor, and the effector reverses the situation and return the value to the normal range.
