COURSE DESCRIPTION
An advance course of detailed study of the human body with emphasis on the gross and
histological study of the following body systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular,
nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and
reproductive. 3 lecture hours and 1 three-hour laboratory each week. Prerequisites: NONE.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
1. Improve the ability of the students in knowing the parts of the human body.
2. To visualize the principle of human anatomy.
3. Apply terms and concepts of the course to a different variety of the real world and
clinical situation.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
The students should be able
 To use anatomical terms to describe body sections, regions and relative positions
 To explain about the different types of tissues
 To describe the structure of each major organs of the all the body systems

TESTS AND QUIZZES
There will be two/ three tests which should take approximately 1 hour to complete them.
Each exam to be made up predominantly of multiple choice questions, but some short
