Document Summary
Human anatomy: the study of the structure of the human body (also called: morphology). Anatomy is closely related to physiology (study of the system and body function). Deals with smaller structures e. g. : cells or tissues (group of cells) or microscopic details of various organs e. g. : intestine and liver.
