These scientists base their work on the assumption that every structure and process, no matter how tiny in scope, must somehow contribute to the survival of the individual.

Pat DuPree taught anatomy/physiology, biology, medical terminology, and environmental science. Don’t expect the structures of the body, and especially the joints, to line up or move along the standard planes and axes. tip The Tip icon lets you know what you can do to improve your understanding of an anatomical structure.
