Gross anatomy (also called topographic anatomy ) is the study of anatomy at the visible level (macroscopic).

Learning techniques

Gross anatomy is studied using invasive and noninvasive methods in order to obtain information about macroscopic structures and organ organizations and organ systems. Among the most common study methods are dissection, in which the bodies of animals or human corpses are opened operationally and the organs are studied. Endoscopy, in which instruments equipped with video cameras inserted through a small incision in the subject, can be used to explore internal organs and other structures of living animals. Anatomy of the circulatory system in living animals can be studied noninvasively through angiography, a technique in which blood vessels are visualized after injection with opaque dyes. Other research facilities include imaging radiology techniques, such as X-rays and MRI.

In medical and health professional education

Most of the doctors' medical profession schools, such as medical, Physician Assistants, and dental schools, require students to complete practical courses (dissection) in rough human anatomy. Such courses aim to educate students in basic human anatomy and attempt to establish anatomical signs that can later be used to aid in medical diagnosis. Many schools provide students with corpses for investigation by surgery, assisted by manual dissection, as well as cadaveric attaches (eg Netter, Rohen).

Working intimately with corpses during a rough anatomy course has been proven to capture the essence of a patient-provider relationship. However, the cost of maintaining the cadaver dissection facility has limited the time and resources available for teaching dirty anatomy in many medical schools, with some adopting alternative or alternative-based teaching or simulation. This, coupled with a decrease in time devoted to rough anatomical programs in the growing medical school curriculum, has led to controversy surrounding the adequacy of anatomical teaching with nearly half of the newly qualified doctors believing that they received inadequate anatomy teaching.

Medical schools have applied anatomy lessons on screen and tutorials to teach students surgical procedures. The use of technological visual aids and rough dissection are more effective together than just approaches. Recently, flashcards and online quizzes have been used as well.
