Vertical positioning places the head on top of: musculoskeletal anatomy, skull and teeth, postcranial skeleton. Organized below is an outline of the basic functions of the human body and their unique characteristics: central nervous system, skull and teeth. Manipulation and locomotion (bipedalism: vertebral column, 4 limbs. In the central nervous system (cns) of humans, neuromuscular control is governed by the somatic nervous system. The anatomy of the skull and teeth inform us about the diet and growth of the species. In humans, the forebrain is two (2) separate bones at birth. The limbs are similar in evolution to that of birds in terms of their differentiation towards specialization. Organized below is an outline of the basic structure and function of the vertebrate brain within the body and its unique characteristics:
