Anatomical variants

Anatomical variants are natural differences in the structure of the human body that are common and usually harmless. They mean that people's bodies may have small differences in shape or location of muscles, bones, or organs, but these variations don't cause health problems. For example, some people have extra ribs or different branching patterns in blood vessels. Recognizing these variants is important for doctors and surgeons to avoid confusion during diagnosis or procedures. Overall, anatomical variants are normal variations that make each person's body unique without impacting health.
