Hint 38

Organ, muscle and bones

Front 39

Regional anatomy

Back 39

The study of an individual region of the body

Ex. The neck region would include all the cells, tissues, blood vessels, nevers, muscle, organs, and the bones present in the neck

Front 40

Systemic anatomy

Back 40

The study of an individual system of the body

Ex. Nervous system, Skeletal system as separate topics

Front 41

Dorsal body cavity

Back 41

Contains the brain and spinal cord

The central nervous system
