Artists and anatomists throughout history have plotted and mapped the human body on both the large and microscopic scale. Medical illustrators and radiographers, like map makers, can show 'new-found lands' inside and outside the body. The art of anatomy uses techniques to chart, in much the same way, with indication lines, colour, sequencing, sections and detailing.
