macroscopic visible with the naked eye, based on observation with the naked eye We study structure on all scales , from the subcellular to the study of the macroscopic ( gross ) features of humans . The original macroscopic descriptions were reviewed to ensure that the available slides represented an adequate sampling of significant pathology . Radiological , endoscopic , and macroscopic findings in the gastrectomy specimens are shown in Table II . The length and width of each lesion were measured , and the area of macroscopic lesion was determined . Students are generally taught that soil consists of these five components , but actually , there are two more , the larger macroscopicanimal life like earthworms , grubs , larvae and such creatures , and the living plants -- but we need not get any more deeply involved . denoting the properties of a system that are visible to the naked eye Classical thermodynamics is the study of energy and work in macroscopic systems . broad-brush, large-scale, overall
