Study of Anatomy

In any human body, you have two hundred and six bones, the bones that are in your body are connected by tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. The anatomy focuses on any kind of animal and the human body. Anatomy is the study of the visible body parts such as hearts and bones. The human body has more to it then the animal body, which makes it more interesting to most people that are very interested in the anatomy and love to learn about it. Once you start to study about it, it gives you so much information that you need to know and would like to know about every bones, muscle, ligament, and even all the systems. Everyone’s life depends on certain physical factors from the environment, which include water, oxygen, nutrients, heat, and pressure. Everything in your body is very important to know and also important to know how to make it healthy and live a way longer life.

Anatomy is the study of the body. The anatomy of the human body started in the third century. Anatomy doesn’t become a science until the 19th century so there is is a large amount of time in between when it started and when it became a century. In the 19th and 20th century, the field of anatomy became more specialized and people started to research it way more than they usually did before. Anatomy opens up and describes each individual part of the body and how everything works and how it is important to the body. Anatomy comes from the word anatomic, which means dissection. Dissection means that they study all of the parts of its internal parts. The experts in the anatomy that study things such as cells, molecules, and whole organisms as large as a whale, are called anatomists. In the human body there are eleven organs that are that important to know about. The eleven organs are, bladder, skin, intestines, kidney, spleen, stomach, liver, lungs, heart, brain, and blood.There are nine systems in a female and male body and they are mostly all the same. The nine systems are, immune, circulatory, skeletal, excretory, muscular, endocrine, digestive, nervous, and respiratory systems. “The digestive system has another word that is called Oral.” There are five basic parts in a human body and they are, your head, neck, torso, arms, and legs. There are five most important vital organs in a human body that you need. The five important vital origin are your brain, heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs. Once you know all about those it is a lot easier to do things to help your body. Another good thing is to know where they are all located just in case for an example you are having heart pains or kidney stones, you would want to know where they are so you are aware.

When you are thirty years old, you start to lose slightly more bones than you gain bones because your getting older. You gain more bones when your younger because you may have a way healthier body then older humans. In a human body, the bones store vital minerals like calcium, and bone marrow. Bone marrow is where our bodies produce red blood cells. Calcium strengthens your bones and teeth. Your bones grow faster than your muscles grow and there is no such thing has growing pains. Exercise helps you to build bones and get fit and not have all fat and it good all be muscle. It keeps them denser and stronger if you exercise the way you should and not just mess around doing it. If you are really into working out, it is a good thing for your body because it helps your systems and your blood flow to get stronger. All human bodies are different in not a lot of ways. It is almost impossible to identify the gender from the skeletal measurements and people think that is not true. It is true because we all have the same structure, but one different thing. The biggest differences in their bodies is the pelvic.The bone size for your gender will fall into the average ranges. Female bodies development sooner than a male body. Female and males bones develop at all different rates. This is why males hit puberty later than females do.

Any human body is supported by the skeletal system. Our bodies consist of biological systems that carry out specific functions necessary for an everyday living. The human body is a single structure, but it is made up of billions of small structures of four major kinds. The four major structures are cells, tissues, organs, and systems. There are three cavities that you also need to know more about about and they are called thoracic, abdominal and pelvic, and dorsal. These are very important to know about and to study about. There are two major subdivisions of anatomy and they are Gross and Microscopic. Gross anatomy deals with the bigger structures of the body and microscopic deals with the smaller structures of a human body. Gross anatomy focuses on the body surface, regions, and section of the body organs. The Microscopic anatomy study the structures of the body such as cells, tissues, and organs. Most health-care related studies need training in Gross Anatomy and histology.

Anatomist work in all universities, they research, institutions, and also do private industry. A large portion of the members teach anatomy in medical, dental, and veterinary schools. It usually only takes about two years to go to school for an anatomist. Systematic, is the study of anatomy, was started by Greek Scientists. It started in the fifth century and it began to get bigger throughout the centuries. Alcmaeon, a greek philosopher, was the first person to perform human body, and to tell us that the brain is the center of intelligence. Empedocles said that the word pneuma which he highly believed meant life and soul. The 15th century is when the rebirth of an empirical study of anatomy happened. At this time people started to get more interested in the anatomy and researched it more and more throughout the years.

In your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill almost three sixteen feet swimming pools. Your body is constantly in motion by your muscles moving. Each lung has over 1.5 million alveoli to aid in gas exchange. You produce 0.4 gallons of saliva every day, you could produce less or more, but that is the average. Each day, the kidneys process about two hundred quarts of blood to filter out about two quarts of waste and water. Each human body contains almost nearly one hundred trillion cells. The human brain contains about one hundred billion nerve cells. Water makes up more than fifty percent of the average adult’s body weight.
