Department of Anatomy

The department is equipped with an air conditioned dissection hall, a histology lab and enough facilities for self-study besides a highly qualified faculty to guide the students. An air-conditioned computer room with four computers containing all the anatomy lectures in PowerPoint presentation form, many text books and labeled photographs of all museum specimens and models have been added to the Department. An ultramodern histology laboratory with projection facilities is also a recent acquisition. The Department is in the process of starting a cytogenetic laboratory for providing to clinical departments facility of detection of chromosonal abnormalities.

Laboratories equipped for research in neuroanatomy, osteology, histology, gross anatomy and anthropometry and cytogenetics are available for staff and postgraduate students.

The Department participates in teaching of MBBS, MD Anatomy, B.Sc. (Medical Technology) Radiography, B.Sc. Physiotherapy, Medical Lab. Technology (one-year in-service) course, and Laboratory Attendants training (six-week in-service) course. The Department offers assistance to other departments in conducting CME courses from time to time like neurosurgery and ENT. Major thrust areas of research are a) effect of drugs on morphology, b) neuroanatomy including tract-tracing histomorphomology, and c) anthropometry.
