Introduction

The human body, of course has many bends and protrusions. This makes the anatomist difficult to describe the body structures. To prevent misunderstanding, the anatomist use universally accepted terms to identify body structures precisely and with minimum words. That's why the language of anatomy is presented.
    Before that, there are some basic terms we should know.

• anatomy- study of  the structures and shape of the body and its parts
• physiology- study of how the body and its parts work or function
• gross anatomy - large structures and easily observable
• micro anatomy- very small structures and can only seen under microscope
