  2. In Week 3, we will: • Look at terms describing the structural organisation of the body • Identify body cavities and the organs contained within them • Study positional and directional terms • Work on the pronunciation of these terms • Learn more combining forms and their meanings • Improve and add to our understanding of (the formation of) medical terms

  3. Structural organization of the body
