Chapter 18 - Perparing for your exams 

<ul>
	<li>Main Parts: Bones, muscles, organs.</li>
	<li>Segments: The body is like a puzzle! It&#39;s divided into bits like the trunk (your main body), thigh (upper leg), and upper arm (just below your shoulder).</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>What&#39;s this about? When we talk about where something is in our body, we often compare it to another body part. It&#39;s like saying, &quot;The cinema is next to the big mall&quot; but for your body!</li>
	<li>Hints: The names of some muscles or organs can tell you where they are! Like the &#39;biceps brachii&#39; - this is in the arm (&#39;brachii&#39; is a hint).</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>
	Why do we need them? Imagine trying to play a game without knowing the starting point! Reference positions help us know the &#39;starting point&#39; of the body.

	<ul>
		<li>
		Anatomical Body Position

		<ul>
			<li>Stand tall, be proud! Upright, looking straight.</li>
			<li>Feet: Best buddies, parallel and close.</li>
			<li>Palms: Saying hi to the world, facing forward.</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
		<li>
		Fundamental Starting Position

		<ul>
			<li>Just like the anatomical position but with a little chill!</li>
			<li>Arms: Relaxed vibes, palms doing a &#39;me-time&#39; facing the body.</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

Think of it this way: Let&#39;s say you&rsquo;re playing a video game, and you have a default character stance. That&#39;s similar to our body&#39;s reference positions. The game might start with your character in a relaxed mode (like the Fundamental Starting Position) or ready for action (Anatomical Body Position).

<ul>
	<li>They aren&#39;t just for fun. When we talk about how our joints move (more on this in chapter 4!), these positions help us understand and show those movements better.</li>
</ul>

For example: Think about doing the robot dance 🤖. You&rsquo;d start with a certain stance (maybe the Anatomical Body Position) and then move your joints to dance. Without a starting stance, your robot dance would look...well, less robotic!

&nbsp;

🔎 Note: The glossary mentioned earlier might have a treasure of terms. Always good to look back if in doubt.

&nbsp;

Happy Studying &amp; Remember to Move Those Joints! 🕺📝📚
