		The science of comparative vertebrate anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in structural organization, entailing detailed comparisons of the data and derivation of general principals from which deductive conclusions can be drawn.
		The intent of this course is to introduce you to the science and principles of comparative anatomy and hopefully, to increase your understanding and appreciation of the vast complexity of vertebrate organisms.

		Anatomy is therefore almost inseparable from physiology, which is sometimes called functional anatomy.
		Anatomy can also be subdivided into biological processes—for example, developmental anatomy, the study of embryos, and pathological anatomy, the study of diseased organs.
		Other subdivisions, such as surgical anatomy and anatomical art, are based on the relationship of anatomy to other branches of activity under the general heading of applied anatomy.

		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.

		By contrast, modern anatomy is studied usually with the aim of correlating the structure of organisms as seen by the naked eye with their structure as revealed by more refined methods of observation.
		Pathological anatomy was established as a branch of the science by the Italian physician Giovanni Morgagni, and in the late 18th century comparative anatomy was systematized by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier.
		Knowledge of microscopic anatomy was greatly expanded during the 20th century as a result of the development of microscopes that provided much greater resolution and magnification than had conventional instruments, thus revealing formerly unclear or invisible detail; and expanded laboratory techniques helped facilitate observation.

		comparative anatomy - the study of the anatomies of different organisms, drawing contrasts and similarities between the structure and function of the anatomies.
		regional anatomy - the study of anatomy by regional parts of the body, e.g., thorax, lower limb, etc. Under this mode of study all of the biological systems, e.g., skeletal, circulatory, etc. located within a particular body region are simultaneously studied with an emphasis on the interrelation of the systems and their regional function.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Anatomy
		Animal anatomy is further divided into comparative anatomy, that is, the study of different animals for purposes of comparison, and special anatomy which studies the form and structure of a single animal.
		Further important divisions are: physiological anatomy, the study of parts in relation to their functions; surgical or topographical anatomy which considers the relations of different parts, and pathological anatomy which treats of the changes brought on by disease, in various organs or tissues.
		Anatomy was a required subject, but was studied by means of the pig which was thought to be closely related to man in anatomical structure.

		Comparative anatomy is concerned with the structural differences of plant and animal forms.
		Human anatomy is often studied by considering the individual systems that are composed of groups of tissues and organs; such systems include the skeletal system (see skeleton), muscular system, cutaneous system (see skin), circulatory system (including the lymphatic system), respiratory system (see respiration), digestive system, reproductive system, urinary system, and endocrine system.
		Various modern technologies have significantly refined the study of anatomy: X rays, CAT scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are only several of the tools used today to obtain clear, accurate representations of the inner human anatomy.

		Anatomy (from the Greek anatomia, from anatemnein, to cut up, cut open), is the branch of biology that deals with the structure and organization of living things.
		Furthermore, anatomy can be covered either regionally or systemically, that is, studying anatomy by bodily regions such as the head and chest for the former, or studying by specific systems, such as the nervous or respiratory systems for the latter.
		From a utilitarian point of view the study of humans is the most important division of special anatomy, and this human anatomy may be approached from different points of view.

	Comparative anatomy Summary
		At the graduate level, courses in biomechanics, comparative vertebrate anatomy, comparative physiology, mathematical and computer modeling, and advanced mechanics are necessary preparation for functional morphology, and the student will also specialize in an area, such as fish feeding behaviors or the mechanics of shark movement.
		Thus, by comparing the anatomy of these organisms, scientists have determined that birds and dragonflies do not share a common evolutionary ancestor, or that, in an evolutionary sense, they are closely related.
		When comparing anatomy of two organisms, presence of a structure in one and a related, although vestigial structure in the other is evidence that the organisms share a common evolutionary ancestor and that, in an evolutionary sense, they are relatively closely related.

		Despite this enormous diversity of function, the internal anatomy of all bird and mammal forelimbs is remarkably similar (Fig.
		Studies of comparative anatomy have long been used to determine relationships among organisms, on the grounds that the more similar the internal structures of two species, the more closely related the species must be; that is, the more recently they must have diverged from a common ancestor.
