| | Anatomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | From a utilitarian point of view the study of humans is the most important division of special anatomy, and this human anatomy may be approached from different points of view. | | | Pathological anatomy (or morbid anatomy) is the study of diseased organs, while sections of normal anatomy, applied to various purposes, receive special names such as medical, surgical, gynaecological, artistic and superficial anatomy. | | | So intricate is the human body that only a small number of professional human anatomists, after years of patient observation, are complete masters of all its details; most of them specialize on certain parts, such as the brain or viscera, contenting themselves with a good working knowledge of the rest. |

| | Comparative anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of organisms. | | | Although spoken of less than the above in comparative anatomy and physiology, heterogeneous structures (structures which are dissimilar), are also present even when there is a common ancestor and a similar environment. |

| | Anatomy can also be subdivided into biological processes—for example, developmental anatomy, the study of embryos, and pathological anatomy, the study of diseased organs. | | | Other subdivisions, such as surgical anatomy and anatomical art, are based on the relationship of anatomy to other branches of activity under the general heading of applied anatomy. | | | Still another way to subdivide anatomy is by the techniques employed—for example, microanatomy, which concerns itself with observations made with the help of the microscope (see the section below on the history of anatomy). |

| | The Relevance of Comparative Anatomy and Physiology "Proofs" |
| | Comparative anatomy and physiology (as well as more general comparative approaches that incorporate additional information) are often cited by advocates of particular diets as providing "proof" that the diet they promote is humanity's "natural" diet, and hence best or optimal in some sense. | | | The basic question of this paper is not whether comparative anatomy and physiology are valid tools (they clearly are, though we will see that applying comparative anatomy and physiology to humans is problematic), but whether the simplistic analyses presented by dietary advocates are legitimate or "scientific" (we will see later that they are not). | | | The intent of this paper is to analyze whether the simplistic comparative studies presented by dietary advocates actually prove that the "natural" human diet is as specific as claimed by the dietary advocates. |

| | Gross anatomy involves the study of major body structures by dissection and observation and in its narrowest sense is concerned only with the human body. | | | The body structure, or anatomy, of the frog is very similar to the anatomy of man. Both man and the frog have the same kinds of organs and systems of organs. | | | The science of physical anthropology has focused to a great extent on determining the place of human beings in nature, on comparing them with lower primates, and on analyzing differences between humans and their human and nonhuman ancestors. |
