INTRODUCTION
ANATOMY
Anatomy is the science which deals with the structure of human body. The term
anatomy is derived from a Greek word “anatome” meaning cutting up.
DIVISION OF ANATOMY
Gross/Cadaveric/Macroscopic Anatomy
The study of the structure of the human body by cadaveric dissection (dead
bodies) with the naked eye. It can be studied by region (regional) such as the upper
and lower limbs, the thorax, abdomen, head and neck, and the brain, or by system
(systemic) such as the skeletal system, muscular system, nervous, respiratory,
digestive, reproductive, and endocrine systems.

EMBRYOLOGY/DEVELOPMENTAL ANATOMY
The study of growth and development of human body from fertilization
through birth.
