解剖学史

古代埃及人在医学上十分出色。有关外科的纸草书记载了他们对疾病的认识。最早的纸莎草文献是约1600BC的《艾德温·史密斯纸草文稿》。

The history of anatomy extends from the earliest examinations of sacrificial victims to the sophisticated analyses of the body performed by modern scientists. It has been characterized, over time, by a continually developing understanding of the functions of organs and structures in the body. Human anatomy was the most prominent of the biological sciences of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Methods have also improved dramatically.
