Answer: June Bell is studying gross anatomy, which can be seen on the outside. Specifically, it is surface gross anatomy that June would need to look at things on the outside, such the appearance of her hair, if her skin is clammy or waxen, the dilation of her eyes. If her eyes are bloodshot, she could be on drugs. If her hair is thinning, she might have cancer. If she is limping, her hip might be injured. If her lips and fingers are blue (cyanosis), there is some internal problem. If she is flushed and has pink cheeks, she could have a fever.
