Introduction:
When beginning anatomy, it is important that students learn the basic
terminology. This allows a
common language when discussing the anatomy and physiology of the
body. We will see this common language applied to the medical field for
diagnosis and discussion of body parts and locations. This allows a
common language using precision and with a minimum of words.
