Inspection, palpitation, auscultation, percussion: exploratory surgery, medical imagining (radiology, cadaver dissection, careful cutting and separation of tissues to reveal their relationships, comparative anatomy, study of several species in order to examine structural similarities and differences. Anatomy: the scientific study of the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another. Physiology: scientific study of how the body functions. An anatomist is concerned with the size, shape, position, bloody supply, and innervation of the organ. *innervation: to supply an organ or body part with nerves or to stimulate a nerve, muscle, or body part to action.
