Department – Anatomy

• GOAL

At the end of anatomy teaching, a student should be able to demonstrate:

• The normal structure, development and genetic pattern of organ and organ systems, along with how these structures relate to diseases and their anatomical basis
• The normal arrangement, clinically significant inter-relationships, and functional and cross-sectional anatomy of the body’s various organs and structures.
• Identifying the microscopic structure of different organs and tissues, including their functions, as a foundation for comprehending alterations in disease process
• The fundamental principles and sequential development of organs and systems, recognizing critical developmental stages and the impact of common teratogens, genetic mutations and environmental risks.
• The principles of karyotyping and identifying major congenital abnormalities.
• The principles of modern imaging techniues and interpreting CT scans, sonograms MRIs and angiograms

• OBJECTIVES

• KNOWLEDGE 
  Comprehend the normal arrangement, clinically significant interrelationship, functional and cross sectional anatomy of various body structures.

Recognize the microscopic structure of different organs and tissues, lining basic infrastructure to their functions, as a foundation for understanding changes in disease process.

Comprehend the basic structure and connections of the central nervous system in order to analyse the integrative functions of organs and systems

Demonstrate the knowledge of the fundamental principles and sequential development of organs and systems, recognizing critical developmental stages and the effects of common teratogens, genetic mutations, and environmental risks.

• SKILLS 

Identify and locate all the body structures while maring the topography of living anatomy

Identify organs and tissues under the microscope

Comprehend the principles of karyotyping and recognize gross congenital abnormalities

Comprehend the principles of advanced imaging technique and interpret results from methods like CT scans, sonograms, etc.

Comprehend the clinical foundations of common procedures, such as intramuscular and intravenous injections, lumbar punctures, kidney biopsies, etc.

• INTEGRATION 

Through the integrated teaching of other basic sciences, students should be able to understand the regulation and coordination of organ and system functions in the body, enabling them to interpret the anatomical basis of disease processes.
