HUMAN ANATOMY (Click here for a photographic image of the Department)
(i) Goal:
The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in Anatomy aims at
providing comprehensive knowledge of the gross and microscopic structure and
development of human body to provide a basis for understanding the clinical
correlation of organs or structures involved and the anatomical basis for the
disease presentations.
(ii) Objectives
A-Knowledge:
At the end of the course the student shall be able to
(a) Comprehend the normal disposition, clinically relevant interrelationships,
functional and cross sectional anatomy of the various structures in the body
(b) Identify the microscopic structure and correlate elementary ultrastructure
of various organs and tissues and correlate the structure with the functions as
a pre requisite for understanding the altered state in various disease
processes.
(c) Comprehend the basic structure and connections of the central nervous system
to analyse the integrative and regulative functions of the organs and systems.
He/she shall be able to locate the site of gross lesions according to the
deficits encountered.
(d) Demonstrate knowledge of the basic principles and sequential development of
the organs and systems, recognize the critical stages of development and the
effects of common teratogens, genetic mutations and environmental hazards.
He/she shall be able to explain the developmental basis of the major variations
and abnormalities.
B-Skills
At the end of the course the student shall be able to;
(a) Identify and locate all the structures of the body and mark the topography
of the living anatomy.
(b) Identify the organs and tissues under the microscope.
(c) Understand the principles of karyotyping and identify the gross congenital
anomalies.
(d) Understand principles of newer imaging techniques and interpretation of CT
scan, sonogram etc.
(e) Understand clinical basis of some common clinical procedures i.e.
intramuscular and intravenous injection, lumbar puncture and kidney biopsy etc.
