Human anatomy is the scientific study of the body's structures. Some of these structures are very small and can only be observed and analyzed with the assistance of a microscope. Other larger structures can readily be seen, manipulated, measured, and weighed. The word “anatomy” comes from a Greek root meaning “to cut up.” Historically, anatomical studies have involved the dissection of organisms, but advancements in imaging technology now allow us to explore the inner workings of the body with less need for dissection. This field provides a fundamental understanding essential for medical practice and various biological sciences.
