This plane divides the body into equal left and right halves, running vertically from front to back.
What is mid-sagittal?
Protein molecule that acts as a biological catalyst
What is an enzyme?
The layer that makes up adipose and connective tissue
What is Hypodermis
This control mechanism counteracts a change by reducing the output, such as regulating body temperature.
