Concept explainers
Introduction:
Gross anatomy is known as the examination of the organ structure with the naked eye either with the help of radiology, dissection, and surface observation. It is one of the branches of anatomical study that is used for medical students to visualize the structure of humans as macroscopic anatomy.

Answer to Problem 1TYR
Correct answer:
The structure that can be observed with the naked eye is called gross anatomy. Therefore, option (a) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reasons for the correct statement:
Gross anatomy means that the study of organs cross anatomical structure by cutting it into slices to visualize the macroscopic structure of the organs.
Option (a) is given as, “gross anatomy”.
Gross anatomy is used for the clinical examination that is used for the study of human anatomy with the naked eye.
Hence, option (a) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (b) is given as, “ultrastructure”.
It is one of the clinical examination and it used to visualize the structure of the cells with the help of a high magnifying power microscope such as electron microscope. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as, “microscopic anatomy”.
Microscopic anatomy is the one branch of anatomy that is used to observe the structure of the human cells or organelles with the help of a microscope. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as, “histology”.
Histology is also used to study the clinical examination of the structure of human tissues with the help of the microscope. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (e) is given as, “cytology”.
Cytology is the term used for the study of chemistry, function and structure of cells with the help of a microscope. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (b), (c), (d) and (e) are incorrect.
The gross anatomy is the branch of anatomy, which is used for the study of structure of the human tissues or organs with the naked eye and it is referred as macroscopic anatomy.
