Answer to Question 1

The term anatomy currently refers to the structure of an organism. The early anatomists used the term to describe the actual dissection of an organism, including the cutting of parts and the separating of tissues. Over time, however, the word anatomy has evolved to encompass a field of study that now includes many subspecializations: for example, applied anatomy, descriptive anatomy, gross anatomy, developmental anatomy, pathological anatomy, and so forth.
