SUBJECT CODE : BH101

NAME OF THE COURSE : Anatomy

YEAR : I BHMS

INTRODUCTION :

Anatomy is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of human body

and their parts. Anatomy includes many different divisions such as –

Cellular anatomy Cellular anatomy is the study of the structure of the cell. Cellular

anatomy is a branch of cytology, the study of the structure, function, pathology, life

cycles, and life history of cells.

Developmental anatomy Developmental anatomy is the study of the structural

development of the embryo. Developmental anatomy is a branch of embryology, the

study of the structure and development of the embryo.

Gross anatomy Gross anatomy is the study of structures which can be seen with the

unaided eye (the macroscopic structure of tissues and organs).

Histological anatomy Histological anatomy is the study of the structure of tissues.

Histology is the study of the structure, as seen microscopically, and function of

tissues.

Regional anatomy Regional anatomy is the study of specific portions of the body

(regions).

Systemic anatomy Systemic anatomy is the study of the structure of the body's

systems.

Surface anatomy Surface anatomy is the study of the structure of the body's surface.

1.2 GOALS :

The goal of teaching Anatomy is to provide a strong foundation for new entrants of

this basic science by providing comprehensive knowledge and teaching the

applied aspects of human anatomy for co-relation with clinical subjects.

1.3 LEARNING OBJECTIVES :

1.3.1 Knowledge :

At the end of the year student must:

1) Have complete knowledge of anatomical features of the organs and organ

systems

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology

2) Know the location of various organs in the body.

3) Have complete knowledge of actions of various joints.

4) Have knowledge of applied anatomy.

OUTCOME :

At the end of the year student is able to:

1. Explain the anatomy of each organ and organ system.

2. Locate the various structures of the body

3. Demonstrate the action of various joints

4. Co-relate the knowledge of anatomy with the various diseases of the body.

1.3.2 SKILLS : At the end of the course student shall be able to –

I ) Identify and locate all the structures of the body and mark the topography of

the

living anatomy.

II) Identify the organs and tissues under the microscope.

III) Preparation & mounting of Museum specimens.

1.4 INTEGRATION:

SUBJECT CODE-- BH 102

NAME OF COURSE—Physiology Including Biochemistry

YEAR—First BHMS

1.1INTRODUCTION—

Physiology is the study of normal function within living creatures. It is a sub-section of

biology, covering a range of topics that include organs, anatomy, cells, biological

compounds, and how they all interact to make life possible.

1.2 GOALS—

(a) Overall goal of this course is to understand role of molecules, cells, tissues, & organ &

organ system, in health & diseases.

(b) To focus on understand the functioning of living organism & its component parts.

(c) It helps to recognize how modification of one function may lead to subsequent changes

that are either beneficial or harmful.

(d) To furnish the students with chemico-physical processes in human organism & their

integration & interdependent on each other.

1.3 Objectives –

1.3.1 To know normal functioning of cells & tissues.

1.3.2 To have complete knowledge of normal metabolism.

Outcome-

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

1.3.1.1 Must be able to enumerate standards of normal physiological processes.

1.3.1.2Must be able to apply normal standards in disease.

1.3.1.3 Must be able to perform experiments for assessment of functions.

1.3.2.1 Make use of conventional techniques & instruments to perform biochemical analysis

relevant to clinical screening and diagnosis, analyse and interpret investigative data.

1.4 INTEGRATION--

An integrated approach in teaching of anatomy & physiology would be useful to the students

in acquiring an integrated knowledge of organ structure & normal functioning & its

regulatory mechanisms. This can be achieved by organizing integrated seminars with

department of anatomy.
