Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we recall the definitions of each anatomical term:

• Visceral: Relates to internal organs, so matches "Pertaining to the internal organs".
• External: Relates to the body surface, so matches "Toward or on the body surface".
• Internal: Opposite of external, so matches "Away from the body surface".
• Proximal: Closer to the attachment point of an extremity, so matches "Part of an extremity that is nearer the point of attachment of the extremity to the trunk".
• Distal: Farther from the attachment point, so matches "Part of an extremity that is farther from the point of attachment of the extremity to the trunk".
• Central: Near the center, so matches "At or near the center of the body or organ".
• Peripheral: Away from the center, so matches "External to or away from the center of the body or organ".

Answer:

• Visceral: Pertaining to the internal organs
• External: Toward or on the body surface
• Internal: Away from the body surface
• Proximal: Part of an extremity that is nearer the point of attachment of the extremity to the trunk
• Distal: Part of an extremity that is farther from the point of attachment of the extremity to the trunk
• Central: At or near the center of the body or organ
• Peripheral: External to or away from the center of the body or organ
