Gross anatomy is the study of Anatomy at the Macroscopic Level . The term ''gross'' distinguishes it from other areas of anatomical study, including Microscopic Anatomy , which must be studied with the aid of a Microscope . TECHNIQUES OF STUDY Gross anatomy is studied using both invasive and noninvasive methods with the goal of obtaining information about the macroscopic structure and organization of Organ s and organ systems. Among the most common methods of study is Dissection , in which the body of an animal is Surgically opened and its organs studied. Endoscopy , in which a Video Camera -equipped instrument is inserted through a small incision in the subject, may be used to explore the internal organs and other structures of living animals. The anatomy of the Circulatory System in a living animal may be studied noninvasively via Angiography , a technique in which Blood Vessel s are visualized after being injected with an opaque dye. Other techniques of study include X-ray and MRI . IN EDUCATION Most Medical School s require that students complete a course in gross human anatomy. Such courses aim to educate students in basic human anatomy and seek to establish anatomical landmarks that may later be used to aid Medical Diagnosis . Many schools provide students with Cadaver s for investigation by dissection. |
