	Anatomy: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		Anatomy (from the Greek anatome, from ana-temnein, to cut up), is the branch of biology that deals with the structure and organization of living things; thus there is animal anatomy (zootomy[?]) and vegetable anatomy (phytotomy[?]).
		Animal anatomy may include the study of the structure of different animals, when it is called comparative anatomy[?] or animal morphology[?], or it may be limited to one animal only, in which case it is spoken of as special anatomy.
		From the morphological point of view, however, human anatomy is a scientific and fascinating study, having for its object the discovery of the causes which have brought about the existing structure of Man, and needing a knowledge of the allied sciences of embryology or ontogeny, phylogeny, and histology.

	Medicine - LoveToKnow 1911
		The school of Cnidus, as distinguished from that of Cos, of which Hippocrates is the representative, appears to have differed in attaching more importance to the differences of special diseases, and to have made more use of drugs.
		In the 2nd century the school became closely connected with the philosophical sect of the Sceptics, whose leader, Sextus (200 B.C.), was an empirical physician.
		Anatomy was as little regarded as it was in the later ancient schools, the empiric and methodic, but demonstrations of the parts of the body were given on swine.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: History of Medicine
		Diocles Carystius advanced the knowledge of anatomy, and tried to fathom the causal connection between symptom and disease, in which endeavours he was imitated by Praxagoras of Cos, who established the diagnostic importance of the pulse.
		His anatomy and physiology were the most vulnerable part of his system, and an earnest re-examination of these fields must necessarily have shaken his entire scheme of teaching.
		A school for military surgeons was founded at Vienna in 1775 at the suggestion of Anton Störck (1731-1803), ten years after which was established the Josephinum academy under the direction of the army Surgeon-in-chief Johann Alexander von Brambilla (1728-1800).

		The central figures at the Athenian school were Plutarch the Younger (350–433) and Proclus, who came from Byzantium to become head of the Academy.
		The Athenian school culminated in Simplicius, a commentator on Aristotle, and Damascius, who tried to recover the original thought of Plotinus; they were the survivors of the Academy when it was closed in 529.
		The Alexandrian school of Neoplatonism, which included the woman philosopher Hypatia, was more scholarly but less theological than its Syrian and Athenian counterparts and is important mainly for its commentaries on Aristotle.

	Greek medicine - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Greek medicine
		Doctors who attended the medical school on Kos were trained in the rational analysis and treatment of illness.
		One of Hippocrates' most important legacies to modern medicine was his belief in clinical observation, part of a system of diagnosis and treatment based on observation of the patient's symptoms and assessment of the course of an illness.
		Greek doctors were able to advance on the knowledge of the ancient Egyptians for the first time, as the organs could be cut up and their purpose discovered.

	Alexandrian school of anatomy
		Until the time of the Alexandrian school of anatomy, anatomical inquiry was confined to the examination of the bodies of brute animals.
		He first applied the name of choroid or vascular membrane to that which is found in the cerebral ventricles; he knew the straight venous sinus which still bears his name; and to him the linear furrow at the bottom of the fourth ventricle is indebted for its name of calamus scriptorius.
		The celebrity of these two great anatomists appears to have thrown into the shade for a long period the names of all other inquirers; for, among their numerous and rather celebrated successors in the Alexandrian school, it is impossible to recognize a name which is entitled to distinction in the history of anatomy.

		Reality to the left!' was the battle-cry of this school in the war they were the first to wage against the excesses and defects of the nature-philosophy.
		Though the protest was effective in certain directions, we shall see that the authors of the Hippocratic writings could not entirely escape from the hypotheses of the older philosophers.
		Dissections were impossible; their physiology was of the crudest character, strongly dominated by the philosophies.

		Prior to the scientific revolution of the last century, attempts to cope with serious disease were frustrated by the lack of a satisfactory theory of disease or knowledge of causes.
		Although the study of anatomy grew rapidly from the time of Aristotle and the Alexandrian medical school in 300 BC, physiology and ideas of organ function remained rudimentary.
		Speculations untested by experiments were by present-day standards grotesque, and gave rise to such practices as trephining, bleeding, cupping, and purging, often accompanied by magic rituals and incantations.
