Macroscopic Anatomy

The macroscopic anatomy of this region has been studied by gross dissection and measurement, transverse serial sections, computed tomography, and replica casts, and the microscopic anatomy by light and electron microscopy, histochemistry, and autoradiography. Significant anatomical differences exist among species. The macroscopic anatomy of this region has been studied by gross dissection and measurement, transverse serial sections, computed tomography, and replica casts, and the microscopic anatomy by light and electron microscopy, histochemistry, and autoradiography.

This is important for a number of reasons including how growth may be affected by injury.Microscopic anatomy (micro; small) is a branch of anatomy that relies on the use of microscopes to examine the smallest structures of the body; tissues, cells, and molecules. ... More powerful microscopes can examine smaller structures found within tissues, namely cells.
