Answer
What are 4 main functional subdivision?   locomotor (musculoskeletal), viscera, skin, and nervous system (CNS, PNS, sensory organs)  
🗑
What is the structural design of the human body from top to bottom?   head, neck, trunk (thorax, abdomen, pelvis), upper limb, and lower limb  
🗑
Cranial/Rostral (directed towards the head)   Caudal (directed towards the tail and beyond)

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
