To solve the crossword, we analyze each clue:

Clue 2: "inter- (7)"

We need a 7 - letter word with "inter -". From anatomical terms, "interty" doesn't fit. Wait, looking at the grid and common terms, "interty" is incorrect. Wait, maybe "inter" + something. Wait, the grid has a horizontal entry. Wait, maybe "inter" + "TY"? No. Wait, maybe "inter" + "NAL"? No. Wait, let's check the length. 7 letters: "inter" is 5, so 2 more? No, maybe I misread. Wait, the clue is "inter - (7)", so the word starts with "inter" and has 7 letters? Wait, "inter" is 5, so 2 more? No, maybe the clue is "inter -" (prefix) and the word is 7 letters. Wait, "interty" is not right. Wait, maybe "inter" + "LARY"? No. Wait, looking at the grid, the horizontal entry for 2: let's check the vertical "WITHIN" (vertical, 6 letters: W, I, T, H, I, N). The horizontal entry at 2: let's see the letters. The grid has a horizontal entry with length 7? Wait, the clue says (7), so 7 letters. Let's think of anatomical terms. "Inter" + "costal"? No, too long. Wait, maybe "inter" + "ty"? No. Wait, maybe the answer is "INTERTY"? No, that's not a term. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the vertical "WITHIN" (W, I, T, H, I, N) – the horizontal entry at 2: let's check the letters. The second horizontal entry (clue 2) – looking at the grid, the letters in the horizontal row: the first cell is empty, then T, Y? Wait, no. Wait, maybe the answer is "INTERTY" – no. Wait, maybe the clue is "inter -" (7 letters) and the answer is "INTERTY" – but that's not standard. Wait, maybe I misread the clue. Alternatively, maybe the clue is "inter - (7)" and the answer is "INTERIAL"? No. Wait, let's check other clues.

Clue 4: "-somes (6)"

6 - letter word ending with "somes". "CHROMOSOMES" is too long. Wait, "OSMOSOMES"? No. Wait, "CYTOSOMES"? No. Wait, "RIBOSOMES" is too long. Wait, maybe "_somes" – 6 letters. So 3 letters before "somes". "CYTOSOMES" no. Wait, "PROSOMES"? No. Wait, looking at the grid, there's a horizontal entry with "PROXIMAL" (vertical). Wait, the horizontal entry for 4: let's see the grid. The letters: E, O, I, , , ? No. Wait, the clue is "-somes (6)", so the word is 6 letters, ending with "somes"? No, "somes" is 5 letters. Wait, maybe the clue is "___ - somes (6)" – so the first part is 1 letter, then "somes"? No, 6 letters total. So "Xsomes" – no. Wait, maybe "RIBOSOM" – no. Wait, maybe the answer is "OSMOSOM" – no. This is confusing.

Clue 5: "adipose - pertaining to — (3)"

Adipose is fat. Pertaining to fat: "LAR" – wait, the grid has "LAR" (horizontal, 3 letters). "LAR" – no, "LIP" – but the grid has "LAR". Wait, "LAR" – maybe "LAR" is part of "LARD" but no. Wait, the clue is 3 letters. "LIP" is fat - related, but the grid has "LAR". Wait, maybe "LAR" is correct.

Clue 6: "pertaining to the middle (6)"

Pertaining to the middle: "MEDIAL" – 6 letters. Yes! "MEDIAL" fits (M, E, D, I, A, L). Let's check the grid. The vertical entry with "MEDIAL" – yes, the grid has "MEDIAL" (vertical? No, horizontal? Wait, the clue is 6 letters, "MEDIAL" is 6. So that's the answer for clue 6.

Clue 9: "pertaining to the groin (8)"

Pertaining to the groin: "INGUINAL" – 8 letters. Perfect, "INGUINAL" (I, N, G, U, I, N, A, L).

Clue 10: "right and left upper regions beneath the ribs (13)"

Beneath the ribs, upper right and left: "EPIGASTRIC"? No, length. Wait, "HYPOCHONDRIAL"? No. Wait, "UPPER ABDOMINAL" no. Wait, "EPIGASTRIC" is 10. Wait, the clue is 13 letters. "HYPOCHONDRIAL" is 13? No, "HYPOCHONDRIAC" is 12. Wait, "EPIGASTRIC" no. Wait, "UPPER ABDOMEN" no. Wait, the grid has "HYPOCHONDRIAL"? No, the vertical entry "HYPO" (H, Y, P, O) – maybe "HYPOCHONDRIAL" – no, length. Wait, maybe "EPIGASTRIC" is wrong. Wait, the clue says "right and left upper regions beneath the ribs" – that's the hypochondriac regions. "HYPOCHONDRIAC" is 12 letters. Wait, the clue says (13) – maybe "HYPOCHONDRIAL" (13? H - Y - P - O - C - H - O - N - D - R - I - A - L: 13 letters! Yes! "HYPOCHONDRIAL".

Clue 12: "pertaining to the side (7)"

Pertaining to the side: "LATERAL" – 7 letters. Perfect, "LATERAL" (L, A, T, E, R, A, L).

Clue 15: "pertaining to the belly side (7)"

Pertaining to the belly (ventral) side: "VENTRAL" – 7 letters. Yes, "VENTRAL" (V, E, N, T, R, A, L).

Clue 17: "sarc/o or sacr/o - which one means flesh - just list the first four letters (4)"

"Sarc/o" means flesh (from Greek "sarx" = flesh). So the first four letters: "SARC".

Final Answers (matching clues):

1. (Assuming correction, maybe "INTERTY" was wrong, but based on grid and terms, let's re - check. Wait, the vertical "WITHIN" (W, I, T, H, I, N) – the horizontal entry at 2: maybe "INTER" + "TY" is wrong. Wait, maybe the clue is "inter - (7)" and the answer is "INTERIAL" – no. Alternatively, maybe the answer is "INTERTY" (but not standard). However, focusing on correct anatomical terms:

• Clue 2: Let's assume the grid has "INTER" + "TY" (but unsure, maybe a typo).
• Clue 4: Maybe "CYTOSOM" (no, 6 letters: "RIBOSOM" no). Wait, the grid has "PROXIMAL" (vertical: P, R, O, X, I, M, A, L) – no.
• Clue 5: "LAR" (3 letters, adipose - related? Maybe "LIP" but grid has "LAR").
• Clue 6: $\boldsymbol{MEDIAL}$
• Clue 9: $\boldsymbol{INGUINAL}$
• Clue 10: $\boldsymbol{HYPOCHONDRIAL}$
• Clue 12: $\boldsymbol{LATERAL}$
• Clue 15: $\boldsymbol{VENTRAL}$
• Clue 17: $\boldsymbol{SARC}$

(Note: Some clues may require grid - specific letter matching, but based on anatomical terminology, these are the likely answers.)
