anatomists
Human structure experts
Anatomists are scientists who study the structure of living organisms, particularly the human body.
They examine how bones, muscles, organs, and tissues are arranged and connected.
The field dates to ancient dissections and remains central to medical education.
The anatomists identified a previously undescribed nerve pathway.
