Introduction
This chapter provides you with an orientation to the body
as a whole—cells, tissues, organs, systems, and
terminology describing positions and directions within the
body. We begin with the smallest living unit, the cell, and
build to an understanding of complex body systems. In
order to know how organs function in both health and
disease, it is important to appreciate the workings of their
individual cellular units.
