Outline of human anatomy

Short description: Overview of and topical guide to human anatomy

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to human anatomy:

Human anatomy - scientific study of the morphology of the adult human. It is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by unaided vision. Microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes, and includes histology (the study of the organization of tissues), and cytology (the study of cells).

The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, by Rembrandt; depicts an anatomy demonstration using a cadaver.

## Branches of human anatomy

* Gross anatomy- systemic or region-wise study of human body parts and organs. Gross anatomy encompasses cadaveric anatomy and osteology
* Microscopic anatomy/histology
* Cell biology (Cytology) & cytogenetics
* Surface anatomy
* Radiological anatomy
* Developmental anatomy/embryology

## Anatomy of the human body

Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man (1492)

The following list of human anatomical structures is based on the Terminologia Anatomica, the international standard for anatomical nomenclature. While the order is standardized, the hierarchical relationships in the TA are somewhat vague, and thus are open to interpretation.
