Anatomy has accumulated a vast amount of morphological data of the body. In addition, anatomy has long an aggregate of sharply subdivided specialities. Re-organization and systematic integration of the knowledge across these subdivisions with the aim of attaining a more comprehensive approach is not an easy task because of the continued predominance of analytical principles and the deep-rooted academic inclination toward analysis. Despite these difficulties, I have endeavored to formulate a framework for unity of anatomy (Re-arranged comprehensive anatomy). A book of anatomy in a wide sense, in which macroscopic, microscopic, and developmental anatomy of the body are incorporated in one volume, would be of great convenience. Establishment of new concepts of organology as well as profound thinking over the shape and the structure is an urgent task for remodelling of anatomy into a more integrated science.
