Department of Human Anatomy

Comprehensive study of the human body through dissection, histology, embryology, and neuroanatomy — the foundation of all medical science.

Department Overview

About the Anatomy Department

Located on the ground floor of the college building, the Department of Human Anatomy at MPKB Medical College provides a comprehensive and modern approach to anatomical sciences. Anatomy is the first subject taught to all medical students, forming the structural foundation for all clinical learning.

The department emphasises systemic anatomy and problem-based learning, integrating clinical subjects using CT, MRI, and modern teaching methods. Teaching incorporates interactive lectures, small group discussions, and clinical case demonstrations.

Departmental Vision

"To provide comprehensive fundamental knowledge of human anatomy to undergraduate students — enabling them to understand the normal structure and function of the human body, recognise deviations from normal, and effectively diagnose and treat patients."
