Knowledge

1. Comprehend the normal disposition, clinically relevant interrelationship, functional and cross sectional anatomy of various structures in the body.
2. Identity the microscopic structure and correlate elementary ultra structure of various tissues and organs and correlate the structure with the functions as a pre-requisite for understanding the altered stale in various disease processes.
3. Comprehend the basic structure and connections of the central nervous system to analyze the integrative and regulative functional of the organs and systems He/ She should be able to locate the site of gross lesions according to the deficits encountered
4. Demonstrate knowledge of principles and sequential development of the organs and systems recognize the critical stages of development and the effects of common teratogens. Genetic mutations and environmental hazards. He/She should be able to explain the developmental basis of major various abnormalities.
5. Point out the features of various appearances of normal human body in skiagrams after routine Radiological investigations.
6. Understand the principles of karyotyping and identify the gross congenital anomalies.
7. Understand principles of newer imaging techniques and interpretation of CT Scans and Sonograms.
8. Understand clinical basis of some common clinical procedures i.e. intramuscular, intravenous injections!. Lumbar puncture and kidney biopsy.
9. Understand different types of Bio medical waste their potential risks and their management

Skills

1. Identify and locate structures of the body and mark the topography of living anatomy.
2. Identify the organs and tissues under microscope

Integration

From the integrated teaching of other basic sciences radiology and surgery the students should be able to comprehend the regulation and integration of the functions of the organs and systems in the body, thus interpret the anatomical basis of disease process.
