B.D chaurasia handbook of general anatomy 4th edition:
.Human anatomy is the science which deals with the structure of the human body. The term, ‘anatomy’, is derived from a Greek word,anatome”, meaning cutting up. The term ‘dissection’ is a Latin equivalent of the Greek anatome. However, the two words, anatomy and dissection, are not synonymous. Dissection is a mere technique,whereas anatomy is a wide field of study.Anatomy forms firm foundation of the whole art of medicine and introduces the student to the greater part of medical terminology.”Anatomy is to physiology as geography is to history, i.e. it describes the theater in which the action takes place.”
FOR FLASHCARDS
Initially, anatomy was studied mainly by dissection. But the scope of
modern anatomy has become very wide because it is now studied by
all possible techniques which can enlarge the boundaries of the
anatomical knowledge.
