Anatomy is the study of the structure and organization of the human body. It explores the different systems, organs, tissues, and their interrelationships, providing a foundational understanding of how the body is structured and functions. The course typically covers both macroscopic (gross) anatomy, which examines large structures visible to the naked eye, and microscopic anatomy (histology), which focuses on cells and tissues. It often includes practical sessions such as dissections, models, and imaging techniques to help students visualize and understand anatomical structures in detail. 

Students learn about the skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems, among others. The course also introduces anatomical terminology, which is essential for effective communication in medical and healthcare fields. It requires memorization and spatial understanding, as well as the ability to apply anatomical knowledge to clinical scenarios. Anatomy is fundamental for medical, nursing, and allied health students, as it forms the basis for understanding physiology, pathology, and medical practice.
