morphology

• A group of biological science is known as ______

• Deals with the structure and spatial relationships to the environment internal and external

• The way bodies are built

• The material used

• The entire organism in action

up

“Ana”

“tome”

gross anatomy

• study of the human body or macroscopic structure, which can be seen by the naked eye.

microscopic anatomy

• what can be studied under the microscope. - Cytology (Cell) - Histology (Tissue)

human anatomy

• study of the gross structure of the human body.

systemic anatomy

• study of human anatomy from different systems.

regional anatomy

• study of the human anatomy with consideration to the different regions of the body.

developmental anatomy

• (Embryology) - study of the embryonic and later structure of the human body.
