DEFINITION: Anatomy is the science of structure and function of the body anatome = ana (up) + tome (cutting)
BASIC ANATOMY :is the study of the minimal amount of anatomy consistent with the understanding of the overall structure and function of the body
CLINICAL ANATOMY :is the study of the macroscopic structure and function of the body as it relates to the practice of medicine and other health sciences

ORGANIZATION OF THE HUMAN BODY Cells are the smallest living unit of bodyA tissue is a grouping of like cells working together. An organ is a structure composed of several different tissues performing a particular function.Systems are groups of organs which together perform an overall function.

ANATOMICAL POSITIONWhen the body is lying face down in the anatomical position, this is called theproneposition. When the body is lying face up, this is called thesupineposition.
