| Macroscopic (Gross) | regional, systemic, surface |
| Regional Anatomy | study as it relates to regions |
| Systemic Anatomy | study as it relates to body systems |
| Surface Anatomy | study of internal organs as they relate to overlying skin |
| Microscopic | cytology, histology |
| Cytology | study of cells |
