16 What systems do we have? Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Nervous Circulatory Respiratory Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Nervous Circulatory Respiratory Endocrine Digestive Reproductive Lymphatic Urinary What are the major organs and functions of each?

17 This is the appropriate anatomical position. Why is this important?

18 Directional Terms Superior (cephalic/cranial) and inferior (caudal) Anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal) Medial and lateral Proximal and distal Superficial and deep Ipsilateral and contralateral Visceral and parietal Afferent and efferent Superior (cephalic/cranial) and inferior (caudal) Anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal) Medial and lateral Proximal and distal Superficial and deep Ipsilateral and contralateral Visceral and parietal Afferent and efferent
