    About this ebook

    This is an introduction to the overall structure of the human
    body. It is meant to primarily provide a basic foundation for
    the advanced study in the fields related to fitness and overall
    health. In addition to this, the study of human anatomy can
    also offer a satiating sense of self-understanding. This chapter
    lays the foundation for the study of anatomy by considering
    some important aspects –what does this science encompass?
    What methods are used to study anatomy? How did our
    understanding of human anatomy develop? What aspects of
    human anatomy differentiate us from other animals and define
    us as humans? How did the human body come to be as it is?

The human body is composed of different types of cells. The cells make up the tissues which subsequently result in the vital organ systems. The various body organs are responsible for ensuring the viability along with the homeostasis of the entire human body. The human body consists of the major body parts like the head, trunk, neck, hands, arms, thighs and legs.

      The overall study of the human body involves the study of anatomy, physiology, embryology, and histology. The human body tends to vary anatomically in various known ways. The science of physiology is aimed at the study of the organs and the systems of the human body along with their specific functions. Several mechanisms and systems interact with each other for maintaining the homeostasis along with the balanced levels of the vital elements like sugar as well as oxygen in the blood flow.
