What do I need to know? What should I study? 1. Basically, be able to point to any structure on a diagram of the body, identify the name of the structure, and tell the function of that organ. 2. If the system is has a process, know the steps and in what order they occur. 3. Know the overall functions of each system. 4. Make sure you study the vocabulary involved with the organs.
