Anatomical Sciences

Anatomy is the identification and description of the structures of living things. Anatomy is a branch of biology and medicine which can be divided into three broad areas: human anatomy, zootomy (animal anatomy), and phytotomy (plant anatomy). Anatomy is inherently tied to embryology, Comparative anatomy, Evolutionary biology, phylogeny, as these are the processes by which anatomy is generated over immediate (embryology) and long (evolution) timescales.
