From the morphological point of view, however, human anatomy is a scientific and fascinating study, having for its object the discovery of the causes which have brought about the existing structure of Man, and needing a knowledge of the allied sciences of embryology or ontogeny, phylogeny, and histology.
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.
From a utilitarian point of view the study of Man is the most important division of special anatomy, and this human anatomy may be approached from different points of view.

 Basic Anatomy - Organs & Organ Systems
Muscles also control the movement of materials through some organs, such as the stomach and intestine, and the heart and circulatory system.
In fact, the skin is the largest organ in the human body and provides us with an excellent example for explanation purposes.
There are 10 major organ systems in the human body, they are the:

 Anatomy for the Pet Owner: Pet Health Topics from the College of Veterinary Medicine, Washington State University
Each organ system is a collection of organs that function together to perform a specific job to keep the body healthy.
The urogenital system (cat) (dog) includes the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra and the genital organs of box sexes.
Because dogs and cats do not sweat through the skin, the respiratory system also plays an important role in regulation of temperature.

 WebWeekly - Spotlight: The Anatomy of Organ Donation
He argued that all efforts to address organ supply and demand must be guided by the cultural understanding of issues including death, body integrity, and choice.
In a March 14 medical ethics forum on the economics of organ donation, panelists agreed that a critical need exists for research on the widespread resistance to becoming an organ donor.
All agreed that there is a critical need for research to determine the reasons behind society's apparent resistance to organ donation.

 Ellen's Choice: Can Alternative/Complementary Medicine Make a Difference? - Case Teaching Notes - Case Study Collection ...
At our school, the anatomy class is divided into three sections: Anatomy I: Tissues, bones and muscles; Anatomy II: Internal organ anatomy and physiology; and Anatomy III: Nervous system anatomy and physiology.
The relationship of the various structures and systems is an important theme to me--and often lost to the student because of the systematic approach we take to teaching.
Often by the time students are studying the nervous system, they have long since moved beyond bone and internal organ structure and function.

 Bambooweb: Heart transplant
Tissue-typing was essential to the success, early attempts in the 1950s on sufferers from Bright's disease had been very unsuccessful.
Cortisone had been recently discovered and the more effective azathioprine was identified in 1959, but it was not until the discovery of cyclosporine in 1970 that transplant surgery found a sufficiently powerful immunosuppressive.
An organ transplant is the transplantation of an organ (or part of one) from one body to another, for the purpose of replacing the recipient's damaged or failing organ with a working one from the donor.
