It can also be defined as an entity relying on coercion and the threat of force to rule.

5. Identify and describe two tools of measurement in functional anatomy. Two commonly used tools to obtain anthropometric measures are x-ray and goniometers. X-rays and other radiological techniques aid in showing bones structure and mass in vivo. This is possible due to x-rays passing unobstructed through low density tissues and being obstructed by high density tissues. Goniometers are a tool used to measure the range of motion of a joint. This helps identify the plane of movement through…
