Anatomy



:''There is a historical type of English poetry called an anatomy, or more precisely an amatory anatomy. It is a love sonnet dedicated to describing the parts of a lover's anatomy (usually female lover's)''. [[image:ENC plate 1-143 750px.jpeg|thumb|250px|Anatomical drawing of the human muscles from the ''Encyclopédie''.]] Anatomy (from the Greek language ''anatome'', from ''ana-temnein'', to cut up), is the branch of biology that deals with the structure and organization of living things. It can be divided into animal anatomy (zootomy) and plant anatomy (phytonomy). Major branches of anatomy include comparative anatomy, histology, and human anatomy. Animal anatomy may include the study of the structure of different animals, when it is called comparative anatomy or animal morphology, or it may be limited to one animal only, in which case it is spoken of as ''special anatomy''. From a utilitarian point of view the study of humans is the most important division of special anatomy, and this human anatomy may be approached from different points of view. From that of Medicine it consists of a knowledge of the exact form, position, size and relationship of the various structures of the healthy human body, and to this study the term descriptive or topographical human anatomy is given, though it is often, less happily, spoken of as ''anthropotomy''. So intricate is the human body that only a small number of professional human anatomists, after years of patient observation, are complete masters of all its details; most of them specialize on certain parts, such as the brain or viscera, contenting themselves with a good working knowledge of the rest. ''Topographical anatomy'' must be learned by repeated dissection and inspection of dead human bodies. It is no more a science than a pilot's knowledge is, and, like that knowledge, must be exact and available in moments of emergency. From the morphological point of view, however, human anatomy is a scientific and fascinating study, having for its object the discovery of the morphogenesis which have brought about the existing structure of humans, and needing a knowledge of the allied sciences of embryology or developmental biology, phylogeny, and histology. ''Anatomical pathology'' (or ''morbid anatomy'') is the study of diseased organ (anatomy)s, while sections of normal anatomy, applied to various purposes, receive special names such as medical, surgical, gynaecological, artistic and superficial anatomy. The comparison of the anatomy of different races of humans is part of the science of physical anthropology or anthropological anatomy. In the present edition of this work the subject of anatomy is treated systematically rather than topographically. Each anatomical article contains first a description of the structures of an organ or system (such as nerves, Artery, heart, and so forth), as it is found in humans; this is followed by an account of the development (embryology) and comparative anatomy (morphology), as far as Vertebrate are concerned; but only those parts of the lower animals which are of interest in explaining human body structure are here dealt with. The articles have a twofold purpose; first, to give enough details of structure to make the articles on physiology, surgery, medicine and pathology intelligible; and, secondly, to give the non-expert inquirer, or the worker in some other branch of science, the chief theories on which the modern scientific groundwork of anatomy is built. *Major body systems: **Integumentary system **Muscular system **Nervous system **Reproductive system **Respiratory system **Excretory system **Circulatory system **Lymphatic system **Skeletal system (Human skeleton) **Endocrine system **Digestive system **Immune system *Organ (anatomy)s: **Anus **Vermiform appendix **Brain **Breast **Colon (organ) or large intestine **Diaphragm (anatomy) **Ear **Eye **Heart **Kidney **Labia **Larynx **Liver **Lung **Nose **Ovary **Pharynx **Pancreas **Penis **Placenta **Rectum **Skin **Small intestine **Spleen **Stomach **Tongue **Uterus *Bones in the human skeleton: **Collar bone (clavicle) **Thigh bone (femur) **Humerus **Mandible **Patella **Radius (bone) **Skull **Tibia **Ulna **Rib **Vertebrae *Glands: **Ductless gland **Mammary gland **Salivary gland **Thyroid gland **Parathyroid gland **Adrenal gland **Pituitary gland **Pineal gland *Biological tissue: **Connective tissue **Endothelial tissue **Epithelial tissue **Glandular tissue **Lymphoid tissue *Externally visible parts of the human body: **Abdomen **Arm **Back **Buttock **Chest **Ear **Eye **Face **Genitals **head (anatomy) **Joint (anatomy) **Leg **Mouth **Neck **Scalp **Skin **Tooth **Tongue *Other anatomic terms (not classified): **Artery **Coelom **Diaphragm (anatomy) **Gastrointestinal tract **Hair **Exoskeleton **Lip **Nerve **Peritoneum **Serous membrane **Skeleton **Skull **Spinal cord **Vein ==See also== *List of anatomical topics *List of human anatomical features *List of publications in biology#Anatomy *History of anatomy *Human anatomy *Organ (anatomy) *Superficial anatomy *Zootomical terms for location ==External links== *[http://www.innerbody.com/htm/body.html Free online anatomy atlas] *[http://www.npac.syr.edu/projects/vishuman/VisibleHuman.html The NPAC Visible Human Viewer] *[http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/omd/index.html On-Line Medical Dictionary] *[http://www.bartleby.com/107/ Anatomy of the Human Body by Henry Gray] *[http://www.rtstudents.com/ Online Radiology Anatomy Resources] *[http://www.wikimd.org/index.php?title=Gray%27s_Anatomy Gray's Anatomy wiki] (http://immunity-info.net) ----- Academic disciplines Anatomy fa:کالبدشناسی nds:Anatomie simple:Anatomy su:Anatomi vi:Giải phẫu học

Anatomy



Some of the text on this page is rather out of date. ---- What about English terms? When talking about anatomy it seems sensible to adress professional and lay readers likewise. I am not quite sure whether individual entries really should be moved to English-headed articles. To be sure, most anatomical terms have their English counterparts, but some of these may lack the precision of the scientific nomenclature. And then there are the Nomina Anatomica (Paris 1955, Sao Paulo 1997) which are widely adhered to. I believe we should make up our minds how anatomical terms should be handled and which nomenclature should be used for article headings, lists etc. There is also an entry named On-Line Medical Dictionary which seems to be nothing more than a proposal, but if such a thing should ever arise, it might be wise to connect anatomical etc. overviews to such a dictionary and leave the anatomical entries under their scientific names.User:Kosebamse 12:04 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC) :I prefer using English terms, and additionally mentioning the scientific ones. This also solves the problem of lacking precision. Texts are otherwise hardly readable by lay-people - User:Patrick 12:26 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC) But if we want a classification or list to be scientifically solid, we can't do without a precise nomenclature. I am afraid that there are many things in anatomy that don't have a precise name except the scientific one. Perhaps there could be a list or classification for lay readers and one for professionals. There could be a short explanation under a common name for the lay reader, and details under a scientific name, for the professionals. Of course, it would be la ot of work making everything linked everything else in a sensible way. User:Kosebamse 12:42 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC) ---- The main part of the content is dedicated to human anatomy which has a separate article. User:Andres 17:36, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC) ---- Why do we have "butt" leading to "buttock"? Should we replace it? :Done.
