Which field of anatomy examines the superficial anatomic markings and internal body structures as they relate to the overlying skin?
- regional anatomy
- surface anatomy
- pathologic anatomy
- comparative anatomy
Introduction:
Anatomy is the study of the internal and external structure of the body. Anatomy is the study or knowledge of the structure and location of the organs of the organism while physiology is the knowledge of how those organs function in the organism. In addition, anatomy also aims to study the functioning and structuring of organs and other parts of the human body.
Answer to Problem 1DYKB
Correct Answer: (b) surface anatomy.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (b) Surface anatomy
Surface anatomy is the study of the structure of an organism externally or superficially. They relate to the internal organ with respect to the external body structure.
The explanation for the incorrect answer:
Option (a) Regional anatomy
As the name suggests, regional anatomy is studying a specific region of the body that is under-diagnosis. If a patient is under trauma, then the part that is affected because of the trauma will be studied and diagnosed.
Option (b) Pathologic anatomy
When there is a change in a region of the body due to disease the study of the anatomy is called pathologic anatomy. It occurs after the body is affected.
Option (d) Comparative anatomy
The comparison of the anatomy of the different organisms is called comparative. It can be superficial or it can be the internal anatomy of the body of the organisms.

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
