anatomy
anatomy Branch of biological science that studies the structure of an organism. The study of anatomy can be divided in several ways. On the basis of size, there is
gross anatomy, which is studying structures with the naked eye;
microscopic anatomy, studying finer detail with a light microscope;
submicroscopic anatomy, studying even finer structural detail with an electron microscope; and
molecular anatomy, studying with sophisticated instruments the molecular make-up of an organism. Microscopic and submicroscopic anatomy involve two closely related sciences:
histology (tissues and structures) and
cytology (cells). Anatomy can also be classified according to the type of organism studied, plant, invertebrate, vertebrate, or human anatomy. Comparative anatomy compares the structures of organisms. See also
