Abstract

Human anatomy is the scientific study of the structure and organization of the body parts of human, ranging from microscopic cells to visible organs and systems. We know our body very well, at least for the surface, why we need a scientific study? Well, it may be not so well for the interior of the body.

When I was sick, I always wish that, there was a machine that could scan the interior of my body, and told me what the problem was. The machine should be not very harmful to the body. I was tested a few times by CT and MR, and underwent a cut of the appendix, however, I still have no idea about the interior of my body.

When a high school student starts learning biology, she was fascinated by the human body parts. She drew the 79 organs of human by using a pencil. I do not know how to draw, so I collected pictures of the human body, from every source I can access: the internet, textbooks, and even ask AI to generate pictures. This book is for appreciation, not for sale: human body is a treasurer, not a profit.

The usual questions in anatomy are “what is this part?”, “How does it work?”. Here, we only go through the process verbally; the molecular and digital description will be done later.
