'''Anatomy''' (from the [[Greek language|Greek]] ''{{polytonic|ἀνατομία}} anatomia'', from '' {{polytonic|ἀνατέμνειν}} ana: separate, apart from, and temnein'', to cut up, cut open) is the branch of [[biology]] that studies the [[body plan|structure and organization of living things]]. It can be divided into animal anatomy ([[zootomy]]) and [[plant anatomy]] (phytotomy). Anatomy can also be covered either regionally or systemically; that is, respectively, studying anatomy by bodily regions such as the head and chest, or studying by specific systems, such as the nervous or respiratory systems. Major branches of anatomy include [[comparative anatomy]], [[histology]] and gross [[human anatomy]].

Professional human anatomists are usually employed by medical schools and large teaching hospitals. They often specialize in certain parts, such as the [[brain]] or [[viscera]]. Anatomy must be learned by repeated dissection and inspection of dead human bodies. Pathologists have detailed anatomic knowledge. A thorough working knowledge of anatomy is required by surgeons and emergency doctors. General practitioners have a less detailed knowledge, but are usually familiar with the location and relations of most bodily structures.

[[morphology (biology)|Morphologically]] speaking, human anatomy is a scientific study whose object is the discovery of the [[morphogenesis|causes]] that have brought about the existing structures in humans, and is allied to sciences [[embryology]] or [[developmental biology]], [[phylogeny]], and [[histology]]. ''[[Anatomical pathology|Pathological anatomy]]'' (or ''morbid anatomy'') is the study of [[disease]]d [[organ (anatomy)|organ]]s; anatomic studies can be further divided into medical, surgical, gynaecological, artistic and superficial (surface) anatomy.The comparison of the anatomy of different [[race]]s of humans pertains to the science of physical anthropology or anthropological anatomy.
