Human anatomy

Generally, physicians, dentists, physiotherapists, nurses, paramedics, radiographers, and students of certainbiological sciences, learn gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy from anatomical models, skeletons, textbooks, diagrams, photographs, lectures, and tutorials. The study of microscopic anatomy (or histology) can be aided by practical experience examining histological preparations (or slides) under a microscope; and in addition, medical and dental students generally also learn anatomy with practical experience of dissectionand inspection of cadavers (dead human bodies). A thorough working knowledge of anatomy is required for allmedical doctors, especially surgeons, and doctors working in some diagnostic specialities, such ashistopathology and radiology.
Human anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry are basic medical sciences, which are generally taught to medical students in their first year at medical school. Human anatomy can be taught regionally or systemically; that is, respectively, studying anatomy by bodily regions such as the head and chest, or studying by specific systems, such as the nervous or respiratory systems. The major anatomytextbook,Gray’s Anatomy, has recently been reorganized from a systems format to a regional format,in line with modern teaching.

Human Anatomy in arts

Gross anatomy has become a key part of visual arts. Basic concepts of how muscles and bones function and deform with movement is key to drawing, painting or animating a human figure. Many books such as “ Human Anatomy for Artists: The Elements of Form”, are written as a guide to drawing the human body anatomically correctly. Leonardo da Vinci sought to improve his art through a better understanding of human anatomy. In the process he advanced both human anatomy and its representation in art.
