Relating to the dissection or detailed anatomical study of the human body.
From 'anthropotomy' (human anatomy) + '-ical' (adjective suffix). This medical term was more common when anatomy required literal dissection of human cadavers.
Anthropotomical studies in the Renaissance were revolutionary and dangerous—doctors risked execution to dissect bodies and finally understand how humans actually worked internally, leading to modern medicine.
