systemic anatomy
organization of the body’s organs into systems that work together for a common function
integumentary system
dermatology: skin, nails, sweat glands, largest sensory organ

osteology: bones and cartilage (shape, support, and movement)
articular system
arthrology: joints and ligaments
muscular system

urology: filter blood, store, produce, transport, and excrete urine
reproductive system
gynecology/andrology
endocrine system
endocrinology: glands that secrete and are responsible for hormone production and secretion
regional anatomy
separates the body into parts and then goes about identifying the different systems involved
clinical anatomy
applies knowledge of regional and systemic anatomy to clinical scenarios. Identifies the clinical applications of different parts of the body

superficial
intermediate
in the middle of the body

intermediate
deep
within the body

deep
medial
closer to the midline
midline
