The scientific study of the human body, including its structure, function, and physical characteristics.
From 'anthropos' (human) + 'soma' (body) + '-logy' (study of). This term represents a medical and anatomical focus on understanding human physical form.
Anthroposomatology is what modern medicine and anatomy textbooks study—essentially, how your body works. The term itself is rarely used today because 'anatomy' and 'physiology' took over, but it shows how specifically scientists wanted to study the human form.
