  Anatomy - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: )
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 plant anatomy (phytonomy).
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 humans, and needing a knowledge of the allied sciences of embryology or developmental biology, phylogeny, and histology.

Clever too is the casting, as the judge, of Boston lawyer Joseph N. Welch, the avuncular hero of the McCarthy-Army hearings ("Have you no shame, Senator?") that had brought about the downfall of the dangerous and paranoid Senator from Wisconsin.
The "Anatomy" in question is less that of the trial--which remains ambiguous to the end -- than of the American judicial system, so that there are in-references, often humorous.
As this was followed in 1959 by "Anatomy of a Murder," one might say that those three Preminger movies, albeit entirely different,were a kind of Code-breaking trilogy.

The means employed in modern murder have nothing artistic or romantic about them either: a kitchen knife in the spleen or a punch to the face, succeeded by a blow to the head struck by the waiting curbside.
