    buttocks [nates], separated by a cleft [crena ani] at the anus. The hip [coxa] connects the pelvis with the lower extremity. In the lower extremity, the thigh is joined to the leg by the knee [genu]. The foot includes: heel [calx]; sole [planta]; instep [tarsus]; metatarsus; and five toes [digiti I-V], including the great toe [hallux] and little toe [digitus minimus]. The upper extremity is joined to the thorax by the shoulder. The arm is joined to the forearm at the elboiv [cubitus]. The hand includes: wrist [carpus]; Fig. 2.—Section of the Epidehmi.s of a Finger, prom a Human Embryo of 10.2 cm. metacarpus, with palm [vola or palma] and back [dorsum manus]. The five fingers [digiti I-V] include: thumb [pollex], index finger [index]; middle finger [digitus medius]; ring finger [digitus annularis] and little finger [digitus minimus]. Organ-systems.—Each of the various parts of the body above outlined is composed of various organs, and the groups of related organs make up organ- systems. The various organ-systems are treated as special branches of descriptive anatomy. The study of the bones is called osteology; of the ligaments and joints, Fig. 3.—Diagram op a Typical Cell.

Further subdivi- sions are also made. The viscera, for example, include the digestive tract, respiratory tract, urogenital tract, etc. Tissues and cells.—The body, as above stated, has various parts, each of which may be subdivided into its component systems and organs. A further analysis reveals a continued series of structm'al units of gradually decreasing complexity. Thus each organ is found to con- sist of a number of tissues (epithehal, connective, muscular or nervous). Finally, each tissue is composed of a group of similar units called cells (figs. 2, 3) which are the ultimate structural units
