What is human anatomy?
Anatomy is the study of structure of human body. It explains all the details related to human structure. Subdivisions of Human Anatomy: There are two main levels of structure of human body (as well as every other thing): macroscopic level and microscopic level. For each of the two levels. there is a separate subdivision of anatomy. The one dealing with macroscopic level is known as gross anatomy and the other which deals with microscopic level is called microscopic anatomy or histology. Gross anatomy: In gross anatomy, structure of human body is studied as seen by naked eye. There are two approaches for gross anatomy: Regional approach and Systemic approach. •In regional approach, human body is divided into regions like arm, forearm, wrist etc and all structures within that region are studied simultaneously. •Whereas in systemic approach, the body is divided into organ systems such as skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system etc and structures belonging to one system are studied together. Histology: Histology or microscopic anatomy is the study of the structure of various organs and tissues of human body under a microscope. The understanding of the ultra-structure helps understand the tissues and organs in a better way. Superficial anatomy Surface Human Anatomy Can you name the Human Surface Anatomy?

A system of human body means a collective functional unit made by several organs in which the organs work in complete coordination with one another. Organs cannot work alone because their are certain needs of every organ that need to be fulfilled and the organ itself cannot fulfill those needs. So all organs of human body need the support of other organs to perform their functions and in this way an organ system is formed. Systems of the Human Body: Human body is made of ten different systems. All the systems require support and coordination of other systems to form a living and healthy human body.

Largest Organs Of The Body Brain Thyroid Skin Lungs Heart Pancreas Liver Spleen Prostate Kidneys Stomach Bladder Organs Of The Body There are almost 78 organs in a human body which vary according to their sizes, functions or actions. An organ is a collection of millions of cells which group together to perform single functions in a human body. The cells in these body organs are highly specialized and formed for all the necessary actions for some specific time. Out of these 78 organs of a male or female body, skin is the largest or biggest organ with respect to its size and weight. The major organ in the body of human beings is the brain which is primarily responsible for performing all the functions and actions of a human body. Other top ten organs of the body are given in the following list with names and functions.

Why Do Men Have an Adam's Apple But Women Don't?
 Adam's apples are found on both women and men they just show up more prominently in men as a chunk of bony cartilage that's wrapped around the larynx. Also known as the laryngeal prominence, the Adam's apple sits right on top of the thyroid gland, so the area is fittingly called the thyroid cartilage. |
