Superficial anatomy (also called surface anatomy) is the study of the external features of the body. It deals with anatomical features that can be studied by sight, without dissecting an organism. It is a branch of gross anatomy, along with endoscopic and radiological anatomy Superficial anatomy is a descriptive science. In particular, in the case of human superficial anatomy, these are the form and proportions of the human body and the surface landmarks which correspond to deeper structures hidden from view, both in static pose and in motion. It is also called "visual anatomy".
In addition, the science of superficial anatomy includes the theories and systems of body proportions and related artistic canons. Studying of superficial anatomy is the basis for depiction of human body in classic art.
Knowledge of the surface anatomy of the thorax is particularly important because it is one of the areas most frequenlty subjected to physical examination, like auscultation and percussion. Human female breasts are located on the anterior chest wall, most frequently between the second and sixth rib.

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !
