Visceral Anatomy

Visceral anatomy refers to the study of the internal organs located within the body's cavities, primarily the thoracic (chest) and abdominal regions. These organs include the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, intestines, kidneys, and others, which are essential for vital functions like circulation, digestion, and respiration. Understanding visceral anatomy helps healthcare professionals diagnose, treat, and manage various medical conditions related to these organs. It involves knowing their structure, location, and relationship to surrounding tissues, providing a foundation for medical practice and surgical procedures.
