| Abstract: | Anatomy became a recognised discipline under the Great Alexandrians (300-250 BC), of whom Herophilus(300 BC) is often considered as the Father of Anatomy. Galen (130-200 AD) published numerous anatomical works, which for a long time were used in teaching Anatomy. Teaching by dissection began with Mondino (c. 1276-1326) in the early 14th century. Modern Anatomy, however, originated in the mid-16th century when dissection became somewhat more common; Vesalius(1514-1564) is often looked upon as the Father of Modern Anatomy. |
