anatomy lesson

Study of structures

An anatomy lesson is instruction in the structure of the body, typically through dissection or diagrams.

The phrase extends to any thorough, clinical examination or breakdown: The critic gave the film an anatomy lesson, picking apart every scene.

It can also refer euphemistically to sexual exploration or, more darkly, to violence that exposes someone's insides.
