	Anatomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		The comparison of the anatomy of different races of humans is part of the science of physical anthropology or anthropological anatomy.

		Adenoids is the pathological enlargement of the lymphoid tissue.
		In human anatomy, the costal cartilages are bars of hyaline cartilage which extend forwards from the anterior ends of the ribs and contribute to the elasticity of the thorax.
		In anatomy, a fibrous joint is an articulation in which the surfaces of the bones are fastened together by intervening fibrous tissue, and in which there is no appreciable motion, as in the joints between the bones of the human cranium.

		Structures that must be considered in a description of lid anatomy are skin and subcutaneous tissue, orbicularis oculi muscle (see Picture 4), submuscular areolar tissue, the fibrous layer consisting of the tarsi and the orbital septum, lid retractors of the upper and lower eyelids, retroseptal fat pads, and conjunctiva.
		The tarsal plates are composed of dense fibrous tissue and are responsible for the structural integrity of the lids.
		The orbital septum is a connective tissue structure that attaches peripherally at the periosteum of the orbital margin (the arcus marginalis); it centrally fuses with the lid retractor structures near the lid margins, thus acting as a diaphragm reported to retain orbital contents.

		The structure of xylem and phloem tissue depends on whether the plant is a flowering plant (including dicots and monocots) or a gymnosperm (polycots).
		All the tissue from the cambium layer outward is considered bark, while all the tissue inside the cambium layer to the center of the tree is wood.
		Xylem tissue conducts water and mineral nutrients from the soil upward in plant roots and stems.

		Adipose tissue is of two types: white, "signet ring," unilocular fat (Plate 40), which is ubiquitous; and brown, multilocular, fat (Plate 39), which is uncommon in the adult human.
		This type of connective tissue is associated with phagocytic reticular cells, for example, the reticular cells of lymph nodes (Plate 36) and Kupffer's cells of the liver (Plate 219).
		Bone is a tissue that forms the greatest part of the skeleton and is one of the hardest structures of the body.

	Anatomy - About Tissue Engineering
		Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary approach to a critical problem in modern medicine – the supply of organs and tissues for transplant.
		The solution from a tissue engineering perspective is to have tissue engineers construct livers in the lab that could then be used for transplant to alleviate the shortage of ‘natural’ livers.
		Tissue engineering is a new discipline, and although there has been some publicity concerning its potential, many people are unaware of just how advanced the field really is. Tissue engineered skin is commercially available and widely used in medicine.

		Embryology (see embryo) deals with developing plants or animals until hatching or birth (or germination, in plants); cell biology covers the internal anatomy of the cell, while histology is concerned with the study of aggregates of similarly specialized cells, called tissues.
		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.

		The heart is the hollow, muscular organ in the thoracic cavity (chest) that maintains the circulation of blood throughout the body.
		The pericardium consists of a layer of fibrous connective tissue and a layer of thin, serous (i.e., produces a secretion) tissue and is attached to the vena cava, the aorta, the diaphragm, and the sternum.
		The electrical impulse is conducted through the AV node and wire-like pathways (Purkinje fibers) to the ventricles, signaling the ventricles to contract and pump blood into the lungs and throughout the body.

	Breast Anatomy
		The breast is responsive to a complex interplay of hormones that cause the tissue to develop, enlarge and produce milk.
		The three major hormones affecting the breast are estrogen, progesterone and prolactin, which cause glandular tissue in the breast and the uterus to change during the menstrual cycle.
		Each lobe is comprised of many lobules, at the end of which are tiny bulb like glands, or sacs, where milk is produced in response to hormonal signals.

	Heart Anatomy
		Because the heart is composed primarily of cardiac muscle tissue that continuously contracts and relaxes, it must have a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients.
		When cholesterol plaque accumulates to the point of blocking the flow of blood through a coronary artery, the cardiac muscle tissue fed by the coronary artery beyond the point of the blockage is deprived of oxygen and nutrients.
		The condition when a coronary artery becomes blocked causing damage to the cardiac muscle tissue it serves is called a myocardial infarction or heart attack.

		Furthermore, the detrimental effect of mobility of peri-implant soft tissues on the long-term prognosis of an osseointegrated implant was either ignored or greatly underestimated.
		Although there was an evident lack of consensus in the implant literature regarding the need for attached tissues around implant restorations, experienced clinicians correlated the presence of attached (nonmobile) tissues with a decrease in soft tissue—related complications, facilitation of prosthetic procedures for the restorative dentist, and greater satisfaction by their patients.
		Surgical instrumentation, criteria for optimal flap designs, general soft tissue management considerations, guidelines for the use of surgical maneuvers, and surgical techniques for management of peri-implant soft tissues in specific case types are all presented in detail.
