    Study Notes

    Types of Anatomy

    • Gross anatomy is the study of large, easily observable structures like the heart or bone.

    Microanatomy

    • Microanatomy, also known as histology, is the branch of anatomy that focuses on the microscopic study of tissues.

    Surface Anatomy

    • Surface anatomy is the study of the form and markings of the body surface.

    Pathological Anatomy

    • Pathological anatomy is the specialized branch of anatomy that deals with structural changes caused by disease.

    Microscopic Anatomy

    • Microscopic anatomy requires the use of a microscope for observation and focuses on the study of anatomical structures not visible to the naked eye.

    Embryology

    • Embryology studies the development of embryos from fertilization to birth.

    Radiographic Anatomy

    • Radiographic anatomy focuses on the study of internal structures visualized by specialized scanning procedures like X-ray or MRI.

    Developmental Anatomy

    • Developmental anatomy deals with tracing structural changes throughout an individual's lifespan.

    Ultrastructure

    • Ultrastructure is the specialized branch of anatomy that focuses on anatomical structures at a subcellular level.

    Regional Anatomy

    • Regional anatomy focuses on the study of a specific region of the body, such as the head, neck, or abdomen.

    Surface Anatomy

    • Surface anatomy involves the study of internal structures visualized by observation of the body surface.
