This document discusses the history and topics of human anatomy. It begins by defining anatomy and noting that the Greek physician Herophilus was the first to dissect human bodies. It then outlines some important figures in the history of anatomy from different centuries, including Leonardo da Vinci, William Harvey, and the Hunter brothers. The document also discusses the Basle Nomina Anatomica and its revisions, which standardized anatomical terminology. Finally, it lists several topics within the field of anatomy, such as regional anatomy, embryology, and applied anatomy.
