Anatomy, in its most extended sense, is the science which deals with the structure of organized bodies. It is divided into departments according to its subjects; such as Human. Anatomy; Comparative Anatomy, or the study of the structure of different animals and Vegetable Anatomy, comprehending the structure of plants.
