An understanding of human anatomy is important for creating realistic sculptures. This includes the basic structure of the body, musculature, and proportion.

Skeletal system: This topic is about the bones of the human body and how they are linked together.
Muscular system: This topic covers the muscles of the human body, including their structure, function, and how they work with the skeletal system.
Nervous system: This topic is about the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, including nerves and ganglia.
Cardiovascular system: This topic covers the heart, blood vessels, and blood in the human body.
Respiratory system: This topic is about breathing, including the lungs and how oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported in the body.
Digestive system: This topic covers the organs involved in digestion, including the mouth, stomach, intestines, and liver.
Endocrine system: This topic covers the glands in the body that produce and secrete hormones, including the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands.
Reproductive system: This topic is about the male and female reproductive organs, including the testes, ovaries, and uterus.
Lymphatic system: This topic covers the lymph nodes and vessels in the body, and their role in the immune system.
Integumentary system: This topic covers the skin, hair, and nails, including their structure and function.
Sensory systems: This topic covers the senses, including vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
Developmental anatomy: This topic covers the developmental stages of the human body, including embryonic and fetal development.
Comparative anatomy: This topic covers the comparison of different animals and their anatomical structures.
Medical imaging: This topic is about the different imaging techniques used in medicine, including X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and ultrasound.
Forensic anatomy: This topic covers the application of anatomy in legal investigations, including identifying human remains and determining cause of death.
Comparative Anatomy: It is the study of similarities and differences in the anatomical structures across different species.
Surface Anatomy: It is the study of the external features of the body.
Microscopic Anatomy: It is the study of the structures that are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
Gross Anatomy: It is the study of the structures that can be seen with the naked eye.
Regional Anatomy: It is the study of structures within a specific body region such as the head, abdomen, or pelvis.
Developmental Anatomy: It is the study of the changes in the anatomy of an organism from birth to adulthood.
Clinical anatomy: It is the study of anatomy as it relates to medical diagnosis and treatment.
Artistic Anatomy: It is the study of the human figure as it relates to sculpture and art.
Pathological Anatomy: It is the study of the effects of disease on the body’s anatomy.
Animal Anatomy: It is the study of anatomy in non-human animals.
Plant Anatomy: It is the study of the internal structure of plants.
Radiological Anatomy: It is the study of internal structures of the body using imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI.
Dental Anatomy: It is the study of the teeth and their structure.
Comparative Historical Anatomy: It is the study of the evolution of anatomy across different species over time.
Neuroanatomy: It is the study of the structure and function of the nervous system.
