1. Anatomistnoun

   He that studies the structure of animal bodies, by means of dissection; he that divides the bodies of animals, to discover the various parts.

   Etymology: ἀνατομὸς.

   Anatomists adjudged, that if nature had been suffered to run her own course, without this fatal interruption, he might have doubled his age. James Howell, Vocal Forest.

   Hence when anatomists discourse,
   How like brutes organs are to ours;
   They grant, if higher powers think fit,
   A bear might soon be made a wit;
   And that, for any thing in nature,
   Pigs might squeak love odes, dogs bark satire. Matthew Prior.

1. anatomist

   Anatomy (from Ancient Greek ἀνατομή (anatomḗ) 'dissection') is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts. Anatomy is a branch of natural science that deals with the structural organization of living things. It is an old science, having its beginnings in prehistoric times. Anatomy is inherently tied to developmental biology, embryology, comparative anatomy, evolutionary biology, and phylogeny, as these are the processes by which anatomy is generated, both over immediate and long-term timescales. Anatomy and physiology, which study the structure and function of organisms and their parts respectively, make a natural pair of related disciplines, and are often studied together. Human anatomy is one of the essential basic sciences that are applied in medicine.The discipline of anatomy is divided into macroscopic and microscopic. Macroscopic anatomy, or gross anatomy, is the examination of an animal's body parts using unaided eyesight. Gross anatomy also includes the branch of superficial anatomy. Microscopic anatomy involves the use of optical instruments in the study of the tissues of various structures, known as histology, and also in the study of cells. The history of anatomy is characterized by a progressive understanding of the functions of the organs and structures of the human body. Methods have also improved dramatically, advancing from the examination of animals by dissection of carcasses and cadavers (corpses) to 20th century medical imaging techniques, including X-ray, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging.
