Michelangelo produced detailed anatomical drawings of the human body. Scientific investigations gained momentum during this period of the Renaissance, and detailed drawings of the internal organs were of immense importance to the early days of surgical procedures.
Anatomical drawings are drawings of animal anatomy. Blueprints of an animal if you will. They are used for education purposes, for the student to better understand how the animal body works. Perhaps an image of a human head, one half skin intact, where you can see the face, other half 'peeled' to reveal the muscles underneath. Anatomical drawings are made (instead of photographs) because the anatomical feature is easier to comprehend from a drawing. Anatomical drawing should be anatomically correct, AKA all details of the anatomy as authentically portrayed as is possible. Which means there is not much room for artistic whimsy or fantasy ideas. Anatomical drawings aim for best possible education. They are not realistic, as all the blood and gore is lacking, which is the exactly why they are better for study, as the student can focus on the details instead of the horror. Also because every individual is different, an anatomical drawing is most commonly a generalization of 'the perfect' alignment. Although anatomical drawings can also be made out of malformations.

Probably Leonardo Da Vinci. Most people have heard of his drawings than his very accurate human body drawings because his anatomy drawings were only published a long time after his death.
Leonardo da Vinci drew pictures of plants, animals, people and even possible inventions such as a helicopter.
By using different shading techniques such as chiaroscuro
their hypotheses (observations and predictions on a certain subject or something like that) and cute little drawings of bunny rabbits hehe :)
