An Important note about analysis of Health and Anatomy terms from the Spelling Bee lexicon:
The Spelling Bee lexicon includes hundreds of words related to human anatomy, healthcare, and medicine. To facilitate review of all the material in this very broad area, LexiConnexxions has developed two complementary LexiTopics.
This LexiTopic, HUMAN ANATOMY, includes all terms of Human Anatomy, organized as follows:
1 ‒ Anatomy: All Terms — This subtopic includes every term of anatomy from the two categories indicated immediately below, as well as all the systemic terms of anatomy included in the “Anat & Func” subtopics within HUMAN HEALTH AND MEDICINE, as detailed below.2 ‒ Anatomy: Buttocks – This separate category has been created not only because the Bee lexicon includes so many words on this topic that they warranted a separate subtopic, but because the topic seems to be of perennial interest to a certain segment of the Spelling Bee community.3 ‒ Anatomy: General Terms — These are terms not specific to any body part or system (e.g., back, body, lacuna, cleft).4 ‒ Anatomy: Slang and Informal
The other LexiTopic, HUMAN HEALTH AND MEDICINE, includes:
1 ‒ All terms related to the healthcare professions and industry, including institutions, personnel, patients, devices, etc.2 ‒ All terms related to specific body systems (e.g., Gastrointestinal System, Head and Neck, etc.). Within these categories, words are further analyzed as follows: Anat & Func -= Anatomy and Function Dis, Dx, and Tx = Disease, Diagnosis, and TherapyAll terms included in the “Anat & Func” categories are also included in the subtopic “Anatomy: All Terms” in the LexiTopic HUMAN ANATOMY.

NOTES ABOUT THE TAXONOMY FOR HUMAN ANATOMY
SCOPE NOTE: This LexiTopic compiles and defines Bee words related to human anatomy.
The subtopic “Anatomy: General Terms” includes all terms that are not specific to any body part or system (e.g., back, body, lacuna, cleft) and that are not, therefore, indexed in the systemic classifications within the LexiTopic HUMAN HEALTH AND MEDICINE.
The subtopic “Anatomy: All Terms” includes every term of anatomy listed in "Anatomy: Buttocks" and "Anatomy: General Terms," as well as all the systemic terms of anatomy in the LexiTopic HUMAN HEALTH AND MEDICINE. See the note at the head of this LexiTopic.
Words related to animal anatomy and morphology are in ANIMALS.
