• 解剖学かいぼうがくCommon
  nounThe standard word for anatomy as an academic field: the study of the structure of the body. Use it for medicine, biology courses, and textbooks; it covers virtually every context where you mean the science itself.

• アナトミー
  nounA katakana loanword that is much less common than 解剖学. It appears mainly in borrowed technical contexts, such as yoga or fitness instruction, and is seldom the word you want for the academic subject.

Use 解剖学 for the scientific study of body structure; 「アナトミー」 is a less common loanword, mainly heard in specialized or borrowed contexts such as fitness and design terminology.
