🗑
Gross Anatomy   structure observed with the unaided eye (without a microscope) i.e. cadavers Two approaches: regional and systematic  
🗑
Microscopic Anatomy   devoted to finer detail; microscope is used as an aid  
🗑
Cytology   the study of cells  
🗑
Histology   the study of tissues  
🗑
Optical (Light) Microscopes   phase contrast, ultraviolet, etc.

Developmental Anatomy   the study of the human body from conception (zygote, i.e. unicellular embryo formation) to adult form  
🗑
Embryology   unicellular sygote to the end of the 8th week in utero  
🗑
Fetology   9th week to parturition

Ultrasound or Sonography   a device emits a high-frequency sound (radar) and records the echo on a monitor  
🗑
Scintigraphy (Nuclear Medicine)   unstable radioisotopes are introduced into the body, different organs collect and concentrate them; a scintillation counter scans the body and produces and image  
🗑
Positron Emission Tomography   radioisotopes are mroe precisely localized with the aid of computer imaging techniques  
🗑
