	Anatomy - LoveToKnow 1911
		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.
		The French anatomy of the 16th century was distinguished by two circumstances unfavourable to the advancement of the science - extravagant admiration of antiquity, with excessive confidence in the writings of Galen, and the general practice of dissecting principally the bodies of the lower animals.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Superficial
		Superficial is a general term meaning "regarding the surface", often metaphorically.
		A superficial, or alternatively, an "over-simplified" argument is prone to many logical fallacies: including hasty generalization, division, composition, pathetic fallacy and many others.
		In particular, in the case of human anatomy, these are the form and proportions of the human body and the surface landmarks which correspond to deeper structures hidden from view, both in static pose and in motion.

		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.
		Pathological anatomy (or morbid anatomy) is the study of diseased organs, while sections of normal anatomy, applied to various purposes, receive special names such as medical, surgical, gynaecological, artistic and superficial anatomy.

		The facial nerve in its initial extratemporal passage lies deep to the superficial lobe of the parotid gland and is not amenable to injury during facelifting in this part of its course.
		The nerve emerges from the infraorbital foramen, sandwiched between the superficial surface of the levator anguli oris and the deep surface of the levator labii superioris muscles, to provide sensory innervation to the cheek and lip.
		The great auricular nerve lies deep to the superficial layer of the deep investing fascia on the sternocleidomastoid muscle as it traverses from posteroinferior to anterosuperior to emerge in the vicinity of the infra-aural region, where the skin is firmly attached to the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

		The Anatomy Trains theory relies on the concept of synergy ("the whole is greater than the sum of the parts") which looks at the body as a series of interrelated myofascial chains, and not just a system of individual muscles.
		Myers says the superficial front line is relative to the startle reflex (a predisposition to a protected posture) and to the body pattern identified as "red light" by Thomas Hanna.
		Hitting the superficial trapezius, the line moves to the deltoid, the deltoid tuberosity, the lateral intermuscular septum and down to the lateral humeral epicondyle.

	Erogenous Tissue Loss after Circumcision
		Superficial blood vessels of the `ridged band' were filled with a silicone rubber mass placed in the superficial external pudendal artery, followed by dehydration and clearing of the mucosa samples through graded alcohol and methyl salicylate.
		The current tendency to eliminate the prepuce from anatomy textbooks [1] reflects the popular emphasis on the glans; perhaps the wrinkling and pleating of the retracted prepuce, like unwanted hair, is an affront to good taste or simply superfluous to requirements.
		Here, the overall anatomy of the prepuce is partly repeated, to provide a framework for the `ridged band' of mucosa and ancillary structures; one of these, the Dartos fascia, keeps the delicate mucosal surface of the prepuce pressed flat against the glans [19].

	Ask Dr. Stephan Moll - Superficial thrombophlebitis
		Superficial thrombophlebitis can be very uncomfortable, but is typically not dangerous, since clots do not typically break off to travel to the lung.
		A clear differentiating factor between a superficial thrombophlebitis and a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the fact that symptoms (pain, swelling, discoloration) of a superficial clot are typically localized, whereas those of deep vein thrombosis are often diffuse; also, a clot in the deep veins is not palpable through the skin.
		If the symptoms of superficial thrombophlebitis do not improve over 1-2 weeks or if they worsen, it may be appropriate to repeat a Doppler ultrasound to see whether the clot has extended into the deep venous system causing a DVT.

		Basically, men's urinary anatomy consists of three basic parts: the bladder, the urethral sphincter, and the urethra itself.
		The bladder is the muscular pouch or reservoir that holds urine between the time it is filtered out by the kidneys and the time that you expel it from your body by urinating (peeing).

		They may be divided into two groups by a horizontal line at the level of the termination of the great saphenous vein; those lying above this line are termed the superficial inguinal glands and those below it the subinguinal glands the latter group consisting of a superficial and a deep set.
		The Superficial Subinguinal Glands (lymphoglandulæ subinguinales superficiales) are placed on either side of the upper part of the great saphenous vein; their efferents consist chiefly of the superficial lymphatic vessels of the lower extremity; but they also receive some of the vessels which drain the integument of the penis, scrotum, perineum, and buttock.
		The superficial lymphatic vessels lie in the superficial fascia, and are divisible into two groups: a medial, which follows the course of the great saphenous vein, and a lateral, which accompanies the small saphenous vein.
