Regional Anatomy

Regional anatomy is the study of specific areas of the body, focusing on the relationships and organization of muscles, bones, organs, and other structures within that region. Instead of looking at the body as a whole, it breaks it down into distinct areas, such as the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and limbs. This approach helps when diagnosing injuries, planning surgeries, or understanding how different parts work together. It provides a detailed view of how structures within a particular area interact, making it easier for healthcare professionals to communicate and work effectively.
