ANATOMY

Anatomy is a branch of biology concerned with the study of form and structure of organisms and their parts. When it is concerned with the structure of animals, it becomes Anatomy of Animals or Veterinary Anatomy. The comparative description of the form and structure of the body parts in different species of animals comprises the Comparative Anatomy. Originally the word anatomy has been derived from a Greek word meaning as ‘’cut open’ or dissection. The dissection of animal body provides the means of describing the appearance and position, form, size, shape, colour, and texture of different parts of the body and their structures and the systematic description arising out of this, constitutes the systematic or descriptive anatomy.
