Document Summary
Know the different branches to be able to study anatomy. Embryology study of the development of the embryo. Considers anatomical similarities and differences in different types of animals. The use of radiographic techniques (ct, mri, and spinal scans) to look at cross sections of the body. Study of anatomical structures with use of x-rays or ultrasound scans on an intact body. Macroscopic anatomy: can be seen without magnification. Surface anatomy - just looking at the surface, even surface of organs. Regional anatomy - based on regions/parts/divisions of the body emphasizing the relationships of various systemic structures (muscles, nerves, and arteries) within that area. Systematic anatomy - studies the systems of the body. Know the general functions of the 11 major organ systems.
