Anatomy, a field within the biological sciences concerned with the identification and outline of the body structures of living things. Gross
anatomy involves the study of major body structures by dissection and observation and in its narrowest sense cares only with the human body .This ancient discipline reached its culmination between 1500 and 1850, by which era its material was firmly established. None of the world’s oldest civilizations dissected a person's body, which most of the people regarded with superstitious awe and related to the spirit of the departed soul. Beliefs in life after death and a disquieting uncertainty concerning the likelihood of bodily resurrection further inhibited systematic study.

anatomy together with his monumental De humani corporis fabrica libri septem (1543; “The Seven Books on the Structure of the Human Body”),.
