Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The study of forms and structure is known as Anatomy. It is derived from “anatomy” the Greek word which means to dissect. The scientists who study the forms and structure of organisms are known as anatomists.

Answer to Problem 1DYB

Correct answer:

Surface anatomy is the superficial anatomic marking and internal body structures as they relate to skin covering. Therefore, option b. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Option b. is given as “surface anatomy”. The Gross anatomy is the part of the anatomy that deals with the investigation of “structure and relationship of parts of the body that are visible” such as stomach, heart, kidney, brain. This may be approached in several ways which include systemic anatomy, regional anatomy, surface anatomy, comparative anatomy, and embryology. Surface anatomy focuses both on internal structure and superficial anatomical marking that relates to the skin covering them. Hence, surface anatomy is one of the several approaches that examine both internal structure and superficial anatomical marking that relates to skin that covers them.

Hence, option b. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “regional anatomy”. It examines all of the structure that is present in the particular region of the body as a unit. Hence, option a. is incorrect

Option c. is given as “pathologic anatomy”. It examines the anatomical changes resulting from disease. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as “comparative anatomy”. It examines the differences and similarities between anatomies of different species. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, options a., c., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

The branch of anatomy that examines both internal structure and superficial anatomical marking that relates to skin that covers them is known as surface anatomy.
