Human anatomy is the science that studies the origin, development, shape, structure, and systems of the human organism and its separate organs. It aims to describe, explain, and guide our understanding of human structure through various methods including observation, palpation, percussion, auscultation, anthropometrics, X-rays, and endoscopy. The principles of anatomy include systematic, topographic, developmental, and functional anatomy.

2. Human Anatomy is science about
-origin and development
-shape and structure of human
organism, systems of organs
and separate organs.

3. Anatomy as science is called to
three main tasks:
-to describe the structure;
-to explain the structure;
-to guide the structure.

6. Methods of anatomical research:
1. Physical methods
- observation
- palpation
- percussion
- auscultation
- anthropometrical
2. The instrumental methods
- X-ray methods
- endoscopical methods

7. PRINCIPLES IN ANATOMY:
- systematic or descriptive anatomy
- topographic or surgical or regional
- developmental anatomy
embryology
gerontology
- functional anatomy.
