About Anatomy
The human body runs on parts most people never see working. The femur carries your weight as the longest bone you have, while the clavicle sits shallow enough to trace with a finger. Air travels down the trachea and ends in the alveoli, tiny sacs where oxygen crosses into blood. The pancreas handles both digestion and blood sugar. Clues here cover bones, organs, tissues and the structures of the eye, from cornea to retina.
Reach for this in a biology or health class working through body systems, or when reviewing anatomy terms before a test.
