In anatomy you will be learning about human tissue types, where they are located, and how they function to keep us healthy. Anatomy is the study of the structure and organization of living organisms, including humans. The human body is composed of various systems, such as the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, and nervous systems. The skeletal system provides support and protection to the body and consists of bones, joints, and connective tissues. Muscles play a crucial role in movement and are divided into voluntary (skeletal) and involuntary (smooth and cardiac) muscle types. The circulatory system, comprising the heart and blood vessels, transports oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. The nervous system controls bodily functions through electrical impulses and includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Understanding anatomy is essential for careers in medicine, healthcare, biology, and physical education, as it provides the foundation for comprehending how the body functions and responds to various stimuli.
