The word anatomy means _________________and is of Greek origin, from anatom: ana, apart, + tom, cutting.
Anatomy is the science of the structure of the body. Although the primary concern of anatomy is with structure, structure
and function (_________________) should be considered together. In relation to the size of the parts studied, anatomy is
usually divided into 2 major fields: (1) macroscopic or _________________anatomy, and (2) microscopic anatomy or
_________________ (now used synonymously). Macroscopic anatomy is commonly used to denote the study of anatomy
by dissection of a _________________. Microscopic anatomy, on the other hand, is the branch of anatomy in which the
structure of cells, tissues, and organs is studied with the light microscope.

_________________anatomy is the branch which deals with the form and structure of the principal domesticated animals.
The horse is generally selected as the type to be studied in detail and to form a basis for _________________of the more
essential differential characters in the other animals.
In general, works dealing with anatomy are arranged either (1) _________________, that is, according to the various
systems of the body (skeletal, muscular, digestive, etc.) or (2) _________________, that is, according to the natural, main
subdivisions of the body (head and neck, upper limb, thorax, etc.).
Macroscopic anatomy is separated into five major divisions:
1. _________________anatomy describes the configuration of the surface of the body, especially in its relation to
deeper parts.
2. _________________or topographic anatomy describes the organization of specific areas of the body such as the
head or hand.
3. _________________anatomy describes groups of organs that function together for a single purpose.
4. _________________anatomy describes the structural changes in an organism from fertilized egg to maturity. It
includes embryology, fetology, and _________________development.
5. _________________or applied anatomy is the practical application of anatomical knowledge to diagnosis and
treatment, including _________________anatomy (changes that occur during illness), and _________________anatomy
(the study of bodily structure using various imaging techniques).
Microscopic anatomy is divided into two major divisions:
1. _________________, the study of cells and their structures.
2. Histology, the study of tissues and their structures.
