MBBS First year syllabus

Anatomy-osteology, embryology, histology, genetics & gross anatomy.
Anatomy: The study of human or animal form, by observation or examination of the living being, examination or dissection of dead specimens, microscopic examination, and/or textbooks.
Derived from the GREEK ἀνατομή anatomē "dissection" (from ἀνατέμνω anatémnō "I cut up, cut open" from ἀνά aná "up", and τέμνω témnō "I cut"), anatomy is the scientific study of the structure of organism including their systems, organs and tissue. It includes the appearance and position of the various parts, the materials from which they are composed, their locations and their relationships with other parts. Anatomy is quite distinct from physiology and biochemistry, which deal respectively with the functions of those parts and the chemical processes involved. For example, an anatomist is concerned with the shape, size, position, structure, blood supply and innervation of an organ such as the liver; while a physiologist is interested in the production of bile, the role of the liver in nutrition and the regulation of bodily functions.
 Anatomy is the specialized branch of medicine that deals with the structure of the human body. Subjects studied under this degree are Gross and Regional Anatomy, Osteology, Arthropology, Myology, Systemic Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, Applied and Clinical Anatomy, General & Systemic Embryology, Comparative Embryology, Principles of Genetics, General Histology, Histology of Organs & Structure, Staining Techniques, Outline of Evolution, Comparative Anatomy,





Physiology- general physiology, systematic physiology and hematology




BIOCHEMISTRY  Knowledge At the end of the course, the student should be able to: demonstrate his knowledge and understanding on the: 1. Molecular and functional organization of a cell, and sub- cellular components; 2. Structure, function and interrelationship of biomolecules and consequences of deviation from normal; 3. Basic and clinical aspects of enzymology and regulation of enzymatic activity; 4. Digestion and assimilation of nutrients and consequences of malnutrition; 5. Integration of the various aspects of metabolism, and their regulatory pathways; 6. Biochemical basis of inherited disorders and their associated sequelae; 7. Mechanisms involved in maintenance of body fluid and pH homeostasis; 8. Molecular mechanisms of gene expression and regulation, the principles of genetic engineering and their application in medicine; 9. Molecular concepts of body defence and their application in medicine; 10. Biochemical basis of environmental health hazards; and biochemical basis of cancer and carcinogenesis, principles of metabolism, and detoxication of xenobiotics. 11. Principles of various conventional and specialized laboratory investigations and instrumentation, analysis and interpretation of a given data; the ability to suggest experiments to support theoretical concepts and clinical diagnosis.
