Superficial or surface anatomy is important as the study of anatomical landmarks that can be readily seen from the exterior contours of the body.[1] It enables physicians or veterinary surgeons to gauge the position and anatomy of the associated deeper structures. Superficial is a directional term that indicates that structures are located relatively close to the surface of the body.[63] Comparative anatomy relates to the comparison of anatomical structures (both gross and microscopic) in different animals.[1] Anthropological anatomy or physical anthropology relates to the comparison of the anatomy of different races of humans.
