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.
