Human anatomy is divided into different branches so we can study the body in detail without getting lost in complexity. Each type focuses on a different level of structure and function.

Main Types:

• Gross Anatomy: Study of large body parts visible to the naked eye, such as bones, muscles, and organs.
• Microscopic Anatomy (Histology): Study of cells and tissues under a microscope.
• Surface Anatomy: Looks at external shapes, marks, and landmarks of the body.
• Regional Anatomy: Studies all structures in a specific body area (e.g., head, chest).
• Systemic Anatomy: Studies individual systems like the skeletal or nervous system.

Why it matters: Understanding these types helps students and doctors focus precisely - whether dissecting a cadaver, reading a medical scan, or learning biology.
