Anatomy, derived from the Greek word 'temnein' meaning to cut, is the scientific study of bodily structures and their relationship to one another. It is comprised of macroscopic structures that can be seen without the aid of a microscope 'Gross Anatomy' (includes surface anatomy, neuroanatomy, endoscopic and imaging anatomy), and microscopic structures that can only be seen with the use of a microscope. The term anatomy usually refers to gross or macroscopic anatomy, while microscopic anatomy is referred to as histology, the scientific study of cells and tissues.
