Introduction And Terminology
Anahtar Kelimeler
Anatomy is one of the fundamental sciences of medicine, which studies the shape, structure, systems, and organs of the body. This field of science holds significant importance in faculties and vocational schools that provide education in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and health sciences. The term anatomy is derived from Greek words meaning \"to cut\" and \"to separate\". The science of anatomy began with Hippocrates, who lived in the 5th century BC and made great contributions to the field of medicine. Later, important scientists such as Aristotle, Herophilos, Rufus, Galen, Ibn Sina, Ibn Nafis, and Leonardo da Vinci also conducted studies in the field of anatomy. In Turkey, names such as Şanizade Mehmet Ataullah Efendi, Mahzar Paşa, Nurettin Ali Berkol, Zeki Zeren, and Bedia Sancak have contributed to the development of anatomy as a science. Anatomy education is generally conducted in Latin and uses a common terminology called \"NOMINA ANATOMICA\". Physicians without knowledge of anatomy are similar to moles digging graves in the dark with their hands. Anatomy is an important guide in the medical world, like a compass and a map. The science of anatomy is studied through two methods: macroscopic and microscopic. Macroscopic anatomy is the study of formations visible to the naked eye, while microscopic anatomy is the study of formations not visible to the naked eye. Additionally, there are different types of anatomy such as developmental anatomy, systematic anatomy, topographic anatomy, aesthetic anatomy, and comparative anatomy. The science of anatomy serves as a fundamental source of knowledge for those studying in the field of health and forms the basis upon which other courses are built.(AI)
