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; those words are used in thousands of different ways. To facilitate review of all the material in this very broad area, LexiConnexxions has developed two complementary reports:
This report, HEALTH: HUMAN ANATOMY includes all terms of Human Anatomy, organized as follows:
1 ‒ Anatomy: All Terms — Every term of anatomy from the two categories indicated below, as well as all the systemic terms of anatomy included in HEALTH: MEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE.2 ‒ Anatomy: Buttocks – Yes, a separate category, simply because there are so many3 ‒ 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 report, HEALTH: MEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE, includes anatomy terms as follows:
1 ‒ 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 Therapy
All terms included in the “Anat & Func” categories are also included in “Anatomy: All Terms” in the report HEALTH: HUMAN ANATOMY.
2 ‒ All terms related to the healthcare professions and industry, including institutions, personnel, patients, devices, etc.
