The discipline of anatomy is divided into macroscopic and microscopic. Microscopic anatomy involves the use of optical instruments in the study of the tissues of various structures, known as histology, and also in the study of cells.

The human body is a complex and intricate piece of engineering in which every structure plays a precise role. There are approximately 200 bones, 650 muscles, 79 organs, and enough blood vessels to circle the Earth twice. Medical schools typically teach the anatomy of these structures in approximately one academic year.

However, what does human anatomy actually entail. In this course, we'll take a look at what this subject means and how you can tackle it in the most logical way. First things first, what is anatomy and where did it all begin.

The term 'anatomy'derives from ancient Greek meaning ‘dissection' or 'to dissect' and involves the study of the structure of the human body. This 2000 year old scientific discipline sprung to life in Ancient Egypt and was increasingly developed across the ages by anatomy heavyweights like Galen, Leonardo da Vinci, Vesalius, and many others.
