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.
There are three main areas of anatomy: gross anatomy deals with organs and organ groupings called systems that are visible to the naked eye; cytology is the study of cell structure; and histology examines the structure of tissues. Microscopes are used in both cytology and histology to study cell and tissue structures.
