NORTHERN INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL COLLEGE
Department of Anatomy
Course offered
Department of Anatomy offers 650 hours Course during the first three Terms (1/2 years) of MBBS course.

Course Description
Anatomy deals with the study of structures of body. Human anatomy exposes the structures of the body and pursues their related disposition by dissection. Surface Anatomy and Radiological anatomy with improved imaging techniques x-ray, ultrasonography, CT Scan, MRI etc. apply the knowledge from dissection of dead bodies to the living individuals, which has become important for clinical studies. Embryology & Genetics depicts the intra uterine development of human embryos and fetuses. It attempts to explore factors responsible for growth and differentiation of tissues and organs and courses occasional malformations. Histology deals with normal ultra structure of organs and later an are compared with the pathological status for the differentiation between the normal and abnormal. Clinical Anatomy emphasizes on his application of anatomical knowledge in clinical practice for helping clinicians for reaching correct diagnosis and applies remedial measures.

Course Objective
At the end of course in Anatomy, the students shall be able to:
• Equip them with adequate knowledge for understanding the structural components of the body responsible for carrying out normal body functions.
• Use the above knowledge to understand and appreciate the other subjects tough in the pre-clinical, Para-clinical and clinical courses.
• Use the knowledge of anatomy to understand the basis of common clinical conditions and carry out basis research on various fields of Anatomy.
