found within amino acids, the building blocks of proteins
Anatomical position - ----ANS:standard method of observing the body
Position
Standing
Feet together
Arms at side
Head and eyes forward
Palms forward
When describing organs, everything is mirror imaged (if it is your left, it is
classified as right)
, Anatomy - ----ANS:identification and description of the structures of living
things
anion - ----ANS:A negatively charged ion
Anterior - ----ANS:front of the body
atomic number - ----ANS:the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
