Anatomy Physiology

• An Overview

Divisions

• Gross Anatomy observation of large anatomical
  structures without the use of instrumentation or
  equipment
• Microscopic Anatomy Study of cells
  (cytology)and tissues (histology)
• Radiological Anatomy noninvasive method of

• Sagittal (arrow) any plane that cuts the body
