- Embryology: Study of pre-natal developmental changes in an individual.
- Histology: Study of structures using a microscope.
- Surface anatomy: Study of the deeper parts of the body in relation to the skin surface.
- Radiographic anatomy: Study of bones and other deeper organs through radiography.
- Applied anatomy: Application of anatomical knowledge to medical and surgical practice.
