|

|
MACROANATOMY
|
GROSS ANATOMY-the study of structures that can be dissected and observed with the unaided eye or with a hand lens, forms the subject matter of this guide
|
|
|
GROSS ANATOMY CAN BE DIVIDED INTO:
|
SYSTEMATIC (descriptive) anatomy, TOPOGRAPHIC (regional) anatomy, APPLIED (clinical) anatomy, COMPARATIVE anatomy
|
|
|
SYSTEMATIC ANATOMY
|
aka descriptive anatomy-functional anatomy of related systems/organs
|
|
|
TOPOGRAPHIC ANATOMY
|
aka regional anatomy-organ/systems in relation to parts/regions of body and to themselves; also projection of organs/structures on surface (known as surface anatomy)
|
|
|
APPLIED ANATOMY
|
aka clinical anatomy-related to clinical practice-diagnosis, sx, radiography
|
|
|
COMPARATIVE anatomy
|
differences in organ/structure due to species * often differences related to mode of life of animals *used in classification (taxonomy)
|
|
|
EMBRYOLOGY
|
development of tissues and organs
|
|
|
HISTOLOGY
|
microscopic structure of tissues and organs (use of light and electron microscopy)
|
|
|
PLANE
|
A surface, real, or imaginary, along which any three points can be connected by a straight line
