For example, to describe the anatomy of the stomach, you might discuss its size, shape, color and location. 4 The word ?anatomy? is from the Greek ?tomy? which means to cut and ?ana? which means apart. Gross anatomy is the study of dissected animals or organs. Microscopic anatomy refers to the study of structures too small to be seen without a microscope or other magnifying instrument. 4 Physiology
