Anatomy of the Human Body

Anatomy Terms

• The humerus is the uppermost and largest bone in the arm.
• The hyoid bone is a U-shaped bone located at the base of the tongue at the front part of the throat.
• The inferior labial artery supplies blood to the lower lip.
• The infraorbital artery supplies blood to the eye muscles.
• The infraorbital nerve affects the skin of the lower eyelid, side of the nose, upper lip, and mouth.
• The infratrochlear nerve affects the membrane and skin of the nose.
• The insertion of a muscle is the part that moves and is furthest from the skeleton.

Integumentary System

• The integumentary system consists of the skin and its appendages, including glands, sensory receptors, nails, and hair.

Cardiovascular System

• The internal carotid artery supplies blood to the brain, eyes, eyelids, forehead, nose, and ear.

Other Terms

• The heart is a muscular, cone-shaped organ that keeps blood moving through the circulatory system.
• Histology is the study of the minute structure of the various tissues and organs that make up the entire body of an organism.
• Hormones are secretions that stimulate functional activity or other secretions in the body, such as insulin, adrenaline, and estrogen.
