HUMAN BODY ANATOMY ORGANS

Human anatomy is purely related to the study of structure. It is not concerned with the study of functions of varied parts of human body. In fact, there is other basic healing science, known as Physiology, which is concerned with the study of the function of varied parts of human body. Anatomy just describes the structural details.

Yes, it is a fact that structure and function are very much inter-related and one cannot be understood without the other but a contrast has to be made because of the level of details in both fields. The details of human structure are so vast that they cannot be studied along with the vast details of human functions. That is why the study of function and structure is differentiated into two separate branches of healing science.

It can be divided into three major categories.

1) Gross anatomy (macroscopic anatomy)
2) miniature anatomy (Histology)
3) Basic anatomy

Gross Anatomy: It deals with the study of macroscopic details of human structure. It is not concerned with fine miniature structural details of human body and is studied with naked eye. It has two approaches of study: Systemic advent and regional approach. In systemic approach, the human body is thought about to be composed of separate organs systems while in regional approach, human body is thought about to be composed of separate regions.

Microscopic anatomy: It deals with the study of miniature details of varied structures of human body. miniature anatomy depends on an important instrument known as the microscope.

Basic anatomy: It is sometimes not thought about as a major subdivision of human anatomy, however, it is very important for healing students who are new to the concepts of anatomy. Basic anatomy explains all the basic concepts of human anatomy so that the separate structural arrangements of these basic components can be understood properly.
