Anatomy
Anatomy (from the Greek ἀνατομία anatomia, from ἀνατέμνειν ana: separate, apart
from, and temnein, to cut up, cut open) is the branch of biology that is the
consideration of the structure of living things. It is a general term that can
include human anatomy, animal anatomy (zootomy) and plant anatomy (phytotomy).
In some of its facets anatomy is closesly related to embryology, comparative
anatomy and comparitive embryology, through common roots in evolution.
Anatomy is subdivided into gross anatomy and histology. Gross anatomy (also
called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of
anatomical structures that can be seen by unaided vision. Microscopic anatomy is
the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes, which
includes histology (the study of the organisation of tissues), and cytology (the
study of cells).
The history of anatomy has been characterized, over time, by a continually
developing understanding of the functions of organs and structures in the body.
Methods have also advanced dramatically, advancing from examination of animals
through dissection of cadavers (dead human bodies) to technologically complex
techniques developed in the 20th century.
Anatomy should not be confused with histopathology (also called anatomical
pathology or morbid anatomy), which is the study of the gross and microscopic
appearances of diseased organs.
Other branches
Comparative anatomy relates to the comparison of anatomical structures (both
gross and microscopic) in different animals.
Anthropological anatomy or physical anthropology relates to the comparison of
the anatomy of different races of humans.
Artistic anatomy relates to anatomic studies for artistic reasons.
History of Anatomy
The history of anatomy as a science extends from the earliest examinations of
sacrificial victims to the sophisticated analyses of the body performed by
modern scientists. It has been characterized, over time, by a continually
developing understanding of the functions of organs and structures in the body.
Methods have also advanced dramatically, advancing from examination of animals
through dissection of cadavers to technologically complex techniques developed
in the 20th century.
