Human anatomy

Anatomy is subdivided into gross anatomy and super tiny anatomy. Gross anatomy (also called macroscopic anatomy, topographical anatomy. Regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by the naked eye.

Super tiny anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes. Which includes histology (the study of the organization of tissues), and cytology (the study of cells). Anatomy, human physiology (the study of what something does), and biochemistry (the study of the chemistry of living structures) are complementary basic medical sciences that are generally together (or in tandem) to students studying medical sciences.

In some of its facets human anatomy is closely related to embryology. Comparative anatomy and comparative embryology, through common roots in change over time; for example, much of the human body maintains the ancient segmental pattern that is present in all vertebrates with basic units being repeated, which is particularly obvious in the vertebral column and in the ribcage.
