Human anatomy is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the human body. Anatomy is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by the naked eye.[1] Microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted withmicroscopes, which includes histology (the study of the organization of tissues),[1] and cytology(the study of cells). Anatomy, human physiology (the study of function), 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 andcomparative embryology,[1] through common roots in evolution; 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, and can be traced from very early embryos.
The human body consists of biological systems, that consist of organs, that consist of tissues, that consist of cells and connective tissue.
The history of anatomy has been characterized, over a long period of time, by a continually developing understanding of the functions of organs and structures in the body. Methods have also advanced dramatically, advancing from examination of animals through dissection of fresh and preserved cadavers (dead human bodies) to technologically complex techniques developed in the 20th century.
As it is covered many times that this blog is only for Higher Secondary Education, we are still trying to help our brothers and sisters of Medical Sciences.
Here are some suggestions for books to read:
- Gray's Anatomy: The Classic Collector's Edition (Hardcover)
by Henry Gray (Author) - Principles of Anatomy and Physiology (Hardcover)
by Gerard J. Tortora (Author), Bryan H. Derrickson (Author) - Human 3D Professional Edition (a computer software)
- Discovery Human Anatomy Model
Although, I will not provide any Notes or other stuff DIRECTLY, hence I will give you the links to the free and paid e-books and other resources that you will need, and my dear viewers, you know that spending money in the line of education is not a wastage(my mom said to me these words all the time when I was troubled by high costs of O & A Levels books).
I would highly recommend that you buy these if you are a Medical Student and you are willing to make some sacrifice for your career
