The name of the phylum, to which humans belongs, the anatomical structure, for which the phylum has been named, and the location of the anatomical structure in the body.
Introduction:
The humans are included in the mammalian class. The humans have an endoskeleton made up of bones and cartilage. The spinal cord present in the humans is protected by the vertebral column. The spinal cord is connected to the brain, which is covered by the human skull.
