WHAT DOES ANATOMY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

anatomy

Anatomy

Anatomy is the study of the structure of animals and their parts, and is also referred to as zootomy to separate it from human anatomy. In some of its facets, anatomy is related to embryology and comparative anatomy which itself is closely related to evolutionary biology and phylogeny. Human anatomy is one of the basic essential sciences of medicine. The discipline of anatomy is divided into macroscopic and microscopic anatomy. Macroscopic anatomy, or gross anatomy, is the examination of an animal’s body parts using unaided eyesight. Gross anatomy also includes the branch of superficial anatomy. 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. Methods have also improved dramatically, advancing from the examination of animals by dissection of carcases and cadavers to 20th century medical imaging techniques including X-ray, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging.

Definition of anatomy in the English dictionary

The first definition of anatomy in the dictionary is the science concerned with the physical structure of animals and plants. Other definition of anatomy is the physical structure of an animal or plant or any of its parts. Anatomy is also a book or treatise on this subject.

10 QUOTES WITH «ANATOMY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word anatomy.
1
Robert T. Bakker
At Harvard I was in charge of the comparative anatomy labs.
2
Michael Behe
In the 19th century the anatomy of the eye was known in great detail and the sophisticated mechanisms it employs to deliver an accurate picture of the outside world astounded everyone who was familiar with them.
3
Benjamin Carson
One of the reasons surgeons have so much trouble separating Siamese twins is that nobody gets to do many of them. On the table, the anatomy is so different from normal, that you're constantly trying to figure out, 'Can I cut this? Does this wire lead to what?' It's like trying to defuse a bomb.
4
Oleg Cassini
My philosophy is this: Do not tamper with the anatomy of a woman's body; do not camouflage it.
5
Oleg Cassini
Today's designers don't care if fashion has no relationship to human anatomy.
6
Robert Crumb
I have always had an abiding interest in that type of female anatomy.
7
Alice Dreger
No matter how little we think anatomy should matter to one's social and political rights, surely we can't pretend biology doesn't matter in sports. Surely there's a reason we don't let adults play in the t-ball leagues, and a reason most women athletes want their own leagues.
8
Al Goldstein
So, if anatomy is destiny then testosterone is doom.
9
Taylor Hanson
There's always a spattering of people who see Hanson who were influenced by classic '60's and '70's rock and roll. In a lot of ways, we're sort of the anatomy of a '70's rock band if you examine what we do: white guys who grew up listening to soul music from the '50's and '60's.
10
Marilu Henner
I took anatomy classes. I went to medical libraries and talked to doctors and nutritionists. I did the whole thing before using myself as a human guinea pig.
