Sagittal,coronal,and transverse are directional terms used to describe the location of structures relative to a reference point.

Negative feedback systems are excitatory.

A mid-coronal section would divide the body into bilaterally symmetrical halves.

The movement of digested nutrients through the wall of the digestive tube into the body fluids and to cells for use is called absorption.

The next most complex level of organization after the organ level is the organism level.

Certain patterns of body fat distribution in endomorphs are associated with the development of diabetes.

Systemic anatomy describes the study of the body parts with the aid of scanning electron microscopy.
