First Year MBBS HUMAN ANATOMY Syllabus:
(I) GOAL
The broad goal of teaching of undergraduate students in Anatomy aims at providing comprehensive knowledge of the gross and microscopic structure and development of human body to provide a basis for understanding the clinical correlation of organs or structures involved and the anatomical basis for the disease presentations.
(II) OBJECTIVES
At the end of the course the students shall be able to:
(A) Knowledge
*Comprehend the normal disposition, clinically relevant interrelationships, functional and cross sectional anatomy of the various structures in the body.
* Identify the microscopic structure and correlate elementary ultra-structure of various organs and tissues 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 of the central nervous system and analyse the integrative and regulative functions of the organs and systems. He/She shall be able to explain the developmental basis of the major variations and abnormalities.
* Demonstrate knowledge of the basic principles and sequential development of the Organs and systems; recognize the critical stages of development and the effects of common teratogen, genetic mutations and environmental hazards. He /She shall able to explain the developmental basis of the major variations and abnormalities.
(B)Skills
At the end of the course the student shall be able to:
*Identify and locate all the structures of the body and mark the topography of the living anatomy
* Identify the organs and tissues under the microscope
* Understand the principles of Karyotyping and identify the gross congenital anomalies.
* Understand principles of newer imaging techniques and interpretation of Computerized
* Tomography (CT) Scan sonogram etc.
* Understand clinical basis of some common clinical procedures i.e. intramuscular and intravenous injection, lumbar puncture and kidney biopsy etc.
(C)Integration
From the integrated teaching of other basic sciences, students shall be able to comprehend the regulation and integration of the functions of the organs and systems in the body and thus interpret the anatomical basis of disease process.

(d) Describe digestion & assimilation of nutrients and consequences of malnutrition
(e) Integrate the various aspects of metabolism and their regulatory pathways
(f) Explain the biochemical basis of inherited disorders with their associated consequence
(g) Describe mechanisms involved in maintenance of body fluid, and pH homeostasis
(h) Outline the molecular mechanisms of gene expression and regulations, the principles of genetic engineering and their application in medicine.
(i) Summarize the molecular concept of defenses and their application in medicine.
(j) Outline the biochemical basis of environmental health hazards, biochemical basis of cancer and carcinogenesis
(k) Familiarize with the principles of various conventional and specialized laboratory investigations, instrumentation analysis and interpretation of a given data.
(l) Suggest experiments to support theoretical concepts and clinical diagnosis.
(B) Skills At the end of the course, the student shall be able to
1. Make use of conventional techniques and instruments to perform biochemical analysis relevant to clinical screening and diagnosis
2. Analyze and interpret investigative data
3. Demonstrate the skills of solving scientific and clinical problems and decision making
(C) Integration: The knowledge acquired in Medical Biochemistry shall help the students to integrate molecular events with structure and function of the human body in health and diseases.
