Anatomy science was first reviewed by distinguishing parts of dead bodies through dissection (cutting up). That is why it is called in the ancient Greek language “anatomē”, where “ana” means up and “tome” means to cutting.

Anatomy itself refers to the study of the structure of the body an organism, hence, it is called sometimes the “description Anatomy”. This type of anatomy could be handled with the naked eye, unlike the microscopic anatomy, which need microscope in order to be studied.

The Human anatomy involves the study of human bodies. Human anatomy works on describing different body’s systems such as, cardiovascular system, digestive system, nervous system, urinary system etc. The Animal anatomy concerned with the dissection and anatomy of animals, including cells, tissues, organs, bones and other organs It is also called zootomy. The plant anatomy is called phytotomy. This science describes different sections of plants including the tissues, root system, stem, leaves, flower, fruit and seeds.

Since Anatomy identify the different sections of plants and describe bodies’ parts of humans and animals, with their main characteristics, it has a crucial role in the field of science.
