Abstract

Anatomy is an old medical study. Anatomical techniques are centuries-old knowledge that has evolved to accommodate modern changes. Early anatomists were morphological explorers and observers. Early scientists saw anatomy as an essential subject for understanding the form and functions of the body, as well as the causes of pathologies. They practiced it on purpose. This article sought to analyse developments in the area of anatomy across time, depicting important changes in anatomical practice through linkage with historical periods and their contributions.
