Course

B.Sc. Anatomy

Objective of the Course

In the field of undergraduate education, the most important objective of our Institution is to provide opportunities for trained graduates to undergo several jobs at preliminary level or to pursue higher education at postgraduate level in an atmosphere of learning and research. Students are exposed to newer methods of teaching such as MILA (Multiple Interacting Learning Algorithm) and given opportunities to actively participate in teaching exercises. Students undergo theory classes and will be taught by activity based learning. The other important objectives of the Institute are to bring together in one place about the educational facilities of the highest order for the training of personnel in all the important branches of Basic Medical Sciences and to attain self-sufficiency in undergraduate medical education. The educational principles and practices being adopted are those which are best suited to the needs of the nation.

About the Area of Study

Anatomy is the scientific study of the structure of the human body including its systems, organs, and tissues. The discipline of Anatomy is subdivided broadly into Gross (Macroscopic) Anatomy, Microscopic Anatomy (Histology), Developmental Anatomy (Embryology). Gross anatomy is the study of structures that are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. It can be studied using both invasive and non-invasive methods with the goal of obtaining information about the structure and organization of organs and systems. Gross anatomy can be studied in cadavers by dissection or in living person by endoscopy, radiography etc., Histology is the the study of structures with the aid of a microscope. Embryology is the study of prenatal or postnatal developmental changes in an individual. Other branches of anatomy includes comparative anatomy, which relates to the comparison of anatomical structures (both gross and microscopic) in different animals, surface anatomy is the study of deeper part of the body in relation to the skin surface. At the undergraduate level the students will acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills (in some specialties) to sustain firmly in the competitive educational field.

Scope of the Course

The course provides basis for higher studies of post graduation.
The course is also beneficial not only in India but also in overseas.
It can give a concise, coherent verbal account of the anatomical structure in language applicable to radiology reporting and to inter-specialty communication; this includes all the clinically important anatomical characteristics of the structure, for example course, area of supply, location of vulnerability, functional anatomy.
They may pursue their job and can be project technical assistant in research fields.
They have wide opportunity as Museum Curator as their curriculum contains Anatomy museum specimen preparation techniques and maintenance.
They can also pursue Teaching profession.

Infrastructures of the Department

The Department is spacious with Dissection Hall, Histology Laboratory, Research Lab, Anatomy Museum and an air-conditioned demonstration room, well equipped with Audio-Visual teaching aids. There is also a large collection of Dissected Specimens and dry bone sets.
