Anatomy is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts.
Anatomy is inherently tied to embryology, comparative anatomy, evolutionary biology, and phylogeny, as these are the processes by which anatomy is generated over immediate (embryology) and long (evolution) timescales.
Human anatomy is one of the basic essential sciences of medicine.
Macroscopic anatomy, or gross anatomy, is the examination of an animal's body parts using unaided eyesight.
Microscopic anatomy involves the use of optical instruments in the study of the tissues of various structures, known as histology, and also in the study of cells.
The history of anatomy is characterized by a progressive understanding of the functions of the organs and structures of the human body.
