constituent components, is set forth in Col. Wang and 1992:

water.
Molecular level: water, proteins, lipids, hydroxy-apatite.
Cell level: intracellular, extracellular.
Level Anatomical muscle tissue, fat, bone, skin, organs and
viscera.
Whole body level: body mass, body volume, body density.
3. Human anatomy is the science devoted to
the study of macroscopic structures of the
human body.
Human physiology studies the human
body functions.
Anthropometry is the treaty of the
measurements and proportions of the
human body.
