anatomical
Concerning physical structure
Anatomical describes anything relating to the structure of living things, particularly the body.
An anatomical drawing shows the arrangement of bones, muscles, organs, or other body parts.
The word often appears in medical and scientific contexts: anatomical features, anatomical position, anatomical abnormality.
Something can be anatomically correct, meaning it accurately represents the body's actual structure—a phrase often applied to dolls or models that include realistic genitalia.
