and systems work together in a coordinated manner to ensure the proper functioning of
the body. To survive, the human body must also be able to meet its basic requirements
and adapt to changes in its environment (both internal and external).

To be able to communicate effectively with others about the human body and its
structures, standard anatomical terminology is required. Using the terminology, it is then
possible to locate various components of the body and describe these locations.
