OBJECTIVES
1)To DEVELOP a “VISUAL 
RELATIONSHIP” with the human
body.
2)To ARRANGE the human body in a

structured
manner.
Word Roots
Word Roots are DESCRIBED as the

FOUNDATION, MAIN PART, or THE
CENTRAL PART OF THE MEDICAL
TERM.
They FREQUENTLY DESCRIBE A body 
ORGAN, TISSUE or
CELL.

BODY SYSTEMS
There are 11/ 12 body systems in the human 
body.
1)Nervous System.
2)Cardiovascular
3)Respiratory system
4)MusculoSkeletal system
5)Digestive system.
6)Urinary system.
