The smallest bone and muscle is found in your middle ear. The average human brain weighs 3 pounds (similar to liver) The stomach of a human adult can expand 4 times its size (2l) The human digestive tract measures over 29 feet long. Your heart is roughly the same size as your fist. A human is able to live with one lung (with limits of physical activity) If a structure has a proper form, a proper function follows. When this form is disrupted, dysfunction would usually occur (form + function) Organization of the human body and anatomical nomenclature (2)
