Departmental Objectives

At the end of the course the student should be able to:

  • describe the normal structures and functions of the body and the relationships of one part to another
  • distinguish between various types of tissues
  • identify the location and general features of the body regarding all systems
  • describe environmental and hereditary influences on the normal functions of the body.
  • discuss interactions and interrelations between body systems.
  • show evidence of developing sound attitude regarding the importance of anatomy and physiology as a basis for understanding clinical disciplines
