Study Anatomy

Anatomy is a branch of biology and medicine that studies the structure of living organisms. It encompasses the analysis of bodily structures at multiple levels, from cells and tissues to organs and entire body systems. Human anatomy, in particular, classifies and describes structures in an organized manner to provide a basis for understanding the relationships between different body parts. Broadly divided into two main categories – gross (or macroscopic) anatomy and microscopic anatomy – it forms the fundamental basis for medical and health science studies.
