Question

Gross anatomical specialties include ________.
A) radiographic and surgical anatomy
B) cytology and embryology
C) histology
D) radiographic anatomy, surgical anatomy, cytology and embryology
E) cytology, histology and embryology

Accepted Answer

Gross anatomical specialties refer to the study of the organs and structures visible to the naked eye without the need for microscopic examination. Radiographic and surgical anatomy are two examples of gross anatomical specialties. Cytology and embryology are not considered gross anatomical specialties as they involve the study of cells and the development of embryos at a microscopic level. Histology is a branch of anatomy that involves the microscopic examination of tissues, so it is also not a gross anatomical specialty. Therefore, the best choice is A.
