I'm having trouble answering a question for my college Anatomy & Anthropology course. the question is "Define Anatomy and descripe its categories." I defined it as the science that deals with the origins, physical and cultural development, biological characteristics, and social customs and beliefs of humankind. But...I'm not sure how to answer, or list rather, the "categories" It would be greatly appreciated if someone could lend me a few notes on what these "categories" are and how I should go about describing them. :} Thanks
