Goal

  • Comprehend the normal disposition, inter-relationships, gross, functional and applied anatomy of the various structures in the body.
  • Identify the microscopic structures of various tissues, and organs in the human body and correlate the structure with the functions as a prerequisite for understanding the altered state in various disease processes.
  • Comprehend the basic structure and connections between the various parts of the central nervous system so as to analyze the integrative and regulative functions on the organs and systems.
  • To understand the basic principles of embryology including genetic inheritance and stages involved in development of the organs and systems from the time of conception till birth.
  • The student should recognize the critical stages of normal development and the effects of common teratogens, genetic mutations and environmental hazards on it.
