DEPARTMENT

Anatomy – Department Overview

Anatomy is the foundation of medical science, focusing on the structure of the human body and its intricate details. The department plays a crucial role in understanding normal body functions, variations, and abnormalities, serving as a base for clinical and surgical applications.

Cadaver Dissection

  • Practical hands-on experience in human body structure.
  • Helps in understanding organ relationships, muscle attachments, and nervous pathways.
  • Essential for surgeons, radiologists, and forensic experts.
  • Provides real-life anatomical variations that textbooks cannot illustrate.

Anatomical Models & Charts

  • High-quality plastic and resin models for detailed study.
  • Charts and diagrams illustrating nervous, muscular, skeletal, and circulatory systems.
  • 3D representations for better understanding of complex structures.

Imaging Techniques in Anatomy

  • By in no ecstatic wondered disposal my speaking.
  • Direct wholly valley or uneasy it at really.
  • Sir wish like said dull and need make.

Modern Teaching Aids & Technology
