Thebroadgoalof the teachinganatomy toundergraduate students aims at providingcomprehensiveknowledgeof the gross andmicriscopicstructureanddevelopmentof human body
toprovidea basis forunderstandingthe clinicalcorrelationof organsorstructuresinvolvedand the anatomicalbasisfor the diseasepresentations.
(ii)Objectives :
(A)Knowledge :
Atthe end ofthe
course thestudent shallbe ableto
a)Comprehend the normal
disposition, clinically relevant interrelationships,functionaland
crosssectional anaromy of the
variousstructures inthe body;
b)Identifythe microscopicstructure andcorrelateelementary ultrastructureof
variousorgansand tissues andcorrelate
the structure withthe functionsasa prerequisite for
understanding the alteredstate
in various diseaseprocesses;
c)Comprehend the basicstructureand connectionsof the Central nervous system to analysethe integrativeandregulative functions of the organs andsystems.Locatethe siteofgrosslessions accordingtothe defectsencountered;
d)Demonstrateknowledgeof thebasic principles and sequential development of the organs and systems,recognise the critical stages of development and the effect
ofcommonteratogens, geneticmutations
and environmental hazards, understandsthe
developmenalbasis ofthe
major variationsand
abnormalities.
(B)Skills :
Attheend ofthecoursethestudentshallbe able to :
A)Identifyandlocateallthe structures of the
body and markthetopographyofthe livinganatomy;
b)Identify the organsandtissuesunderthe microscope;
c)understand the principles of
karyotyping and identifythegrosscongenital
anomalies;
d)understand principlesof newer imaging techniquesand
interpretation ofcomputerisedTomography(CT) Scan, sonogram etc.
e)understandclinical basisof some common clinical procedures i.e intramuscular andintravenous injection,lumbar
puncture kidney biopsy etc.
(C)Integration :
Integratedteaching ofbasicscienceswithreferences to clinical medicine.
