Human Anatomy
Human anatomy (gr., "dissection", from, "up", and "cut") is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the human body. Anatomy is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by the naked eye. Microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes, which includes histology, and cytology. Anatomy, human physiology, and biochemistry are complementary basic medical sciences that are generally together (or in tandem) to students studying medical sciences.

Adipose tissue contains a large portion of stem cells that are primarily derived from the stromal cell fraction or from the dedifferentiation of mature (lipid-filled) adipocytes. Stem cells that may give rise to adipocytes are also derived from skeletal muscle, bone and a variety of other tissues. Knowledge of these cells may prove beneficial in cell-based therapies for tissue repair, regeneration, or engineering.
