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.
Microscopic anatomy is subdivided into cytology (the study of cells) and histology (the study of tissues). Anatomy is closely related to physiology (study of function), biochemistry (chemical processes of living things), comparative anatomy (similarities and differences between species), and embryology (development of embryos).
