Question

the study of anatomy and physiology assumes and describes a healthy body. select the description below that does not explain why this approach is useful.

study of a healthy body is less intimidating and more familiar to new students.

study of a healthy body provides a foundation for a more complete understanding of all human bodies.

a healthy body establishes what
ormal\ is.

a healthy body provides a common standard to compare to.

Explanation:

• For the option "Study of a healthy body provides a foundation for a more complete understanding of all human bodies": Understanding the healthy (normal) body helps in grasping deviations (like in diseased states), so this explains the usefulness.
• For "A healthy body establishes what 'normal' is": Defining normal (via healthy body) is crucial for anatomy/physiology as it sets a baseline, so this is a valid reason.
• For "A healthy body provides a common standard to compare to": Having a healthy standard allows comparison with abnormal (diseased/injured) bodies, which is useful.
• For "Study of a healthy body is less intimidating and more familiar to new students": The usefulness of studying anatomy/physiology (focused on healthy body) is about scientific understanding (baseline, comparison, foundation), not about students' comfort or familiarity. So this does not explain the approach's usefulness for the study of anatomy and physiology.

Answer:

The option that does NOT explain why the approach is useful is: Study of a healthy body is less intimidating and more familiar to new students.
