Profile
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body. It deals with the relationship of organs and tissues at a gross (whole organ) and microscopic (histological) level.
Forensic anthropology is the analysis of human remains. This is done for the medico-legal purpose of establishing identity. It plays a key role in UK and international investigations in cases of inter-personal violence and homicide, repatriation, mass disasters, and war crimes.
