Abstract

Anatomy has the distinction of being one of the oldest sciences known to man. This paper, however, will not attempt to trace its history from its beginning, but will try to describe a few recent advances in the various divisions of this broad study. Anatomy in its present position, among the biological sciences, includes gross anatomy, embryology, neurology and cytology. These various divisions can still be further broken down into smaller subdivisions of areas. Early in biological history these four divisions were distinctly isolated phases of anatomy. Today all barriers among divisions of a scientific subject, and actually among fields of science in general, is ceasing to exist, a result that is creating a fusion of interest and a sharing of information.
