For more than one hundred years the Annals of Anatomy have been one of the most famous and widespread journals on morphology. The journal is open to original papers from the fields of anatomy, topographic and clinical anatomy, and embryology. Contributions dealing with various aspects of the microscopical and submicroscopical organization of biological structures including reports from the fields of comparative and experimental cell and tissue research are also published.
