body works.
Gross Anatomy or Macro-scopic anatomy - ANS the study of structures that can be studied
with the unaided eye, without the use of a microscope.
Microscopic Anatomy - ANS deals with the study of structures of the body that can be seen
only with the use of a microscope. These structures are so small that they are best suited using
a microscope.
Histology - ANS the study of tissues in the body which can only be effectively studied with
the aid of the microscope.

Superior, cephalad, cephalic, cranial - ANS these 4 terms refer to a structure that is located
toward the head or upper part of the body away from the feet.
Inferior or caudal - ANS refers to a structure that is located toward the tail end or the inferior
end of the body; away from the head.
