M.B.B.S in Physiology

The undergraduate students are given a sound grounding in the basics of physiology. The curriculum is comprised of lectures backed by practical classes where students apply concepts in real time. The postgraduate program imparts to students a detailed look at physiology, instructing them through tutorials, seminars and group discussions and motivating them in research activities of their interest under the guidance of expert faculty.


HUMAN ANATOMY
(I) GOAL:
The broad goal of the 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 of structures involved and the anatomical basis for the
disease presentations.
(II) OBJECTIVES:
(A) KNOWLEDGE:
At the end of the course the student shall be able to:
(a) Comprehend the normal disposition, clinically relevant
interrelationships, functional and cross sectional anatomy of the various structures
in the body;
(b) 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;
(c) Comprehend the basic structure and connections of the central nervous
system to analyze the integrative and regulative functions of the organs and
systems. He/She shall be able to locate the site of gross lesions according to the
deficits encountered.
(d) Demonstrate knowledge of the basic principles and sequential
development of the organs and systems; recognize the clinical stages of
development and the effects of common teratogens. He/She shall be 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:
a) Identify and locate all the structures of the body and mark the topography
of the living anatomy.
b) Identify the organs and tissues under the microscope;
c) Understand the principles of karyotyping and identify the gross congenital
anomalies;
d) Understand the principles of newer imaging techniques like Ultra sound,
Computerised Tomography Scan, Interpretation of plain and contrast X –
rays.
e) Understand clinical basis of some common clinical procedures i.e.intremuscular
and intravenous injection, lumbar puncture, kidney biopsy etc.
