Definition of Anatomy

We can describe the anatomy as a science, which is interested in the study of the body of a live in terms of its form, its organic composition, elements that form part of it, its operation, its possible alterations Anatomy both human and veterinary medicine is one of the branches of medicine or the most important veterinary and considered as basic since the various branches, more specific come from the description that it carries out of the body in question. The human being has developed anatomical practices since time immemorial, those practices that have allowed him to know more and better performance not only of the human organism, but also different types of animal organisms, being able to establish relationships and differences with the first. The anatomy often in the majority of cases a descriptive science. This means that its main function is the describe the organism to study and thus point out not only the parts that compose it (for example, organs, tissues, cells) but also the operation of the same in a sense Integrator, i.e., linking together different bodies, establishing relationships and analyzing what happens when those relationships or interedependencias are broken. Anatomy serves thus for other branches of medicine and veterinary medicine since it is from it that you can set the same. For example, branches of medicine as the infectious diseases need information that provides the anatomy to know what is the proper functioning of an organ and understand the reason for the alteration to an infection.
Anatomy histology (the study of tissues), and cytology (the study of cells) is one of the central parts of the career of medicine or veterinary medicine. It can be divided into two large branches that are known as gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. While the first may work at first glance since it focuses on the study of the elements of the organic structure visible without the aid of microscope, the second will be one that is dedicated to all the phenomena that must rely on microscopes and other devices to be able to be studied.
