Anatomy Department

• Anatomy, being truly basic subject, forms the foundation for clinical medicine. The approach to anatomy, therefore, deserves careful attention. Further, each and every subdivision of anatomy is expanding rapidly.
• The anatomy also provides an overview of the very early development of human starting from gametogenesis going through the different embryonic stages.
• As a practising doctor one has to remember the anatomy that he/she has learnt for doing any clinical procedure or therapeutic intervention.
• Not only a surgeon but also physician must be well acknowledged with comprehensive details of Anatomy.
• The Department renders a basic foundation by providing sound knowledge of each and every structure of the human body
• The Department gives training to 1st year students on the human body itself (cadaveric study). Along with the latest advanced knowledge of anatomy.
• Students are also made aware regarding professional ethics and conducts.
• The Department deals with the Dissection techniques and microscopic anatomy that is histology.
• The Department also deals with teaching related developmental anatomy, osteology and genetics.

Goal:

1) To impart a strong conceptual and relevant factual grounding to undergraduate students taking the anatomy course
2) To strive for excellence in the Anatomy Teaching Programmes
3) To achieve international recognition for research
4) To create an intellectually vibrant environment within the department
5) To foster a strong sense of belonging among staff and past and present students

Dissection Hall

The dissection hall, named RENDEZVOUS, is located in the east wing of the department. It has 15 dissection tables on which the cadavers are placed and dissected. Each table is provided with electrical connections. The preparation room beside the dissection hall has tanks for storing the cadavers and cadaveric parts. It also has “bone and meat cutting machine” for sectioning the cadaver for teaching sectional anatomy.

Microanatomy Laboratory

This laboratory is located in the north wing. It has tables with illumination facility and compound light microscopes for the study of microanatomy of tissues. Capacity of the laboratory is of 60 students.

MUSEUM

It has excellent dry and wet specimens prepared over the years under the guidance of successive departmental heads, as also, specimens made by students and staff. The specimens are housed in various sections – Gross Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, Embryology, Sectional Anatomy and Comparative Anatomy.

DEPARTMENTAL LIBRARY:

Book library
The department has a collection of books and journals. The latest editions of books are in the reference section. Books in the staff and students’ sections are available for home issue.
X-ray library
Since body-imaging techniques have become increasingly important in diagnosis and treatment, students are introduced to Radiological Anatomy during the course. The X-ray library has collection of important radiographs arranged in boxes which are used for teaching.
Bone Library
A careful study of the bones of a particular part lays down a useful outline for the further study of the region. Osteology is perhaps best learnt by reading the details from the book with the specimens of the dried bone. With this in mind, dried bones are issued from the Bone Library to Students for study.

Majority of the lectures in Anatomy are conducted by making use of computer and digital projector, both of which are exclusive for the lecture hall. Beautiful pictures are projected from CDs using LCD projector.
MUSEUM:
It has excellent dry and wet specimens prepared over the years under the guidance of successive departmental heads, as also, specimens made by students and staff. The specimens are housed in various sections – Gross Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, Embryology, Sectional Anatomy and Comparative Anatomy.
