1. Anatomy is the study of the body’s structures.

• Developmental anatomy considers anatomical changes from conception to adulthood. Embryology focuses on the first 8 weeks of development.
• Cytology examines cells, and histology examines tissues.
• Gross anatomy studies organs from either a systemic or a regional perspective.

2. Surface anatomy uses superficial structures to locate deeper structures, and anatomical imaging is a non-invasive technique for identifying               deep structures.

3. Physiology is the study of the body’s functions. It can be approached from a cellular or a systems point of view.
