    Summary Introduction

    Introduction:

    Anatomy is related to body structure and function. It includes the study of cells, tissue, bones skeletal system, and organ system. It is distinct from physiology. It is the study of the function of the whole body and parts of the body. It focuses on the mechanisms and metabolic processes that occur in different organs of the body.

    Answer to Problem 1PL

    Correct answer:

    The correct answer is option (c) Anatomical position.

    Explanation of Solution

    Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

    Option (c). Anatomical position. In the anatomical position, the muscles are in minimum tension. It is erect or standing up position in humans. It is used as an initial point for physiological and anatomical descriptions and communications of the body. So, the correct answer is option (c).

    Explanation for incorrect answer:

    Option (a). The person is lying down. The lying position of a person is termed as supine and prone in which their body is supported by the surface underneath. It does not support the basis for communication, whereas it simply means the muscles of the body is in resting position. So, this is an incorrect option.

    Option (b). Relative positions. The position defined concerning another position. Anatomical position describes the relative positions of body parts. The relative positions are ventral, dorsal, cranial, caudal and superficial positions. Also, it does involve physiological functioning. So, this is an incorrect answer.

    Option (d). The person is sleeping. It is a state of reduced awareness and response. Sleeping is also associated with reduced movement in the human body. It is not a part of anatomical communication. So, this is an incorrect answer.

    What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
    PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
    Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
