One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Vertebrate Anatomy

Vertebrate anatomy studies the structural organization of animals with a vertebral column, focusing on how body parts are arranged and how major organ systems are built. For examination purposes, you must master the general body plan of vertebrates, the axial and appendicular divisions, and the comparative structural features shared across vertebrate groups because these provide the foundation for understanding all…
