Plural of anatomy; multiple instances of body structures, anatomical studies, or detailed analyses of something.
From Greek 'anatome' (dissection), the plural form 'anatomies' became common in English by the 16th century to refer to either multiple specimens or different branches of anatomical study.
The famous text 'De Humani Corporis Fabrica' from 1543 contained detailed anatomies of different systems—it was revolutionary because it showed variations in how bodies were structured.
