- Upper limb — includes the hand, forearm, arm, shoulder, axilla, pectoral region and scapular region.
- Thorax — contains the region of the chest from the thoracic inlet to the thoracic diaphragm.
- Abdomen — everything from the thoracic diaphragm to the pelvic brim or to the pelvic inlet.
- The back — about the spine and its components, the intervertebral disks and bodies
- Pelvis and Perineum — the pelvis consists of everything from the pelvic inlet to the pelvic diaphragm. The perineum is the region between the genital area and the anus.
- Lower limb — the lower limb is usually everything below the inguinal ligament, including the thigh, the hip joint, the leg, and the foot.
