If their perception of its qualification might affect any sort of committee letter, then you might want to follow their advice. But otherwise, you clearly already saw that AMCAS lumps Anatomy under Biology, so you're good to go. Note that many schools require a year of Bio and a year of Bio Lab - not sure if your make-up units included lab.

You could certainly use this opportunity to "manage up" and gently educate your advisors by showing them AMCAS...something like, asking them to help you interpret the AMCAS information along with their advice?

Read Campana's post, but to add a few things:

The year of bio labs are part of the 8 credits schools want (2 credit hours of labs): 2x 3 credit hour lectures + 2x 1 credit hour labs is how they get the 8 credit hours.

As for the anatomy class, make sure it is an upper-level course (300+), and not a 200 level class like many (most?) anatomy classes are. Seeing as how grad students are in it, it might be a 300 or 400 level course, I can't tell. Also, compare it to the regular BIO XXX course level.

Definitely make your advisors happy - you do not want a bad committee letter.
