Anatomical Terminology
I will be using anatomical terms throughout the book where they are applicable. While it
is beyond the scope of this book to offer an in-depth study of the physiology of the human

anatomical terminology assists us in communication about the human form. By understand-

like textbooks and anatomical reference materials. Figure 1.14 shows the figure with skin
