Anatomy Concepts and Terminology

This video introduces the basics of anatomy and physiology, covering key concepts such as the structure and function of the human body, characteristics of life, levels of structural organization, anatomical positions, directional terms, body planes, and cavities. It emphasizes the importance of homeostasis and feedback loops in maintaining the body's internal environment. The video also encourages viewer engagement through likes, comments, and subscriptions.
