This paper is concerned with the interactions between medics and biologists on the one hand, the 'anatomists' of the title, and 'geometers', or engineers and physicists, on the other. It was delivered as the 16th annual Samuel Haughton Lecture on 23rd January 2010 at the Bioengineering in Ireland conference in Malahide. The paper begins with Samuel Haughton, the father of Irish biomechanics, and then discusses how anatomists and geometers have cooperated to solve problems in the areas of bone adaptation, fatigue microdamage, osteoporosis, third-level education and even art.
本文探讨了医学家和生物学家之间的相互作用，标题中的“解剖学家”与“几何学家”，或者说是工程师和物理学家之间的相互作用。本文作为 2010 年 1 月 23 日在爱尔兰马莱海德举行的生物工程爱尔兰会议上的第 16 届塞缪尔·霍顿讲座发表。本文首先介绍了爱尔兰生物力学之父塞缪尔·霍顿，然后讨论了解剖学家和几何学家如何合作解决骨骼适应、疲劳微损伤、骨质疏松症、第三级教育甚至艺术等领域的问题。
