Different types of anatomy. 1  Gross anatomy involves anything that could be seen with your unaided eye. 2  Surface anatomy is a subset of gross anatomy that is anything that can be revealed on the skin. 3  Microscopic anatomy is known as histology which is the study of tissues.
Anatomy examines and describes the structures of living things. Anatomy studies the form, while physiology looks at the function-anatomy looks at what it is, while physiology looks at what it does. Physiology and anatomy are very closely related disciplines; they are intrinsically linked. Medical students tend to study the two disciplines in tandem.
