Prerequisites None Knowledge Area
Basic Biomedical Sciences
Course Objectives
After the completion of this course the students will be able to describe the
anatomical structures and organs of the human body at gross, regional, tissue
and cell level.
This course will also enable students to explain the clinical aspects of human
anatomy.
Provide an understanding of tissue preparation for microscopic study and
staining.
Observe macroscopic morphology of the human body structure, combined with
observation of the microscopic structure of a variety of human cells, tissues,
organs, etc., through the microscope, build the cognitive concepts for cells,
tissues, and organs composing the human body system and structure and
further combine structure with function.

Course Design/Pedagogical Approach

Blended learning approach

 Students will view dissection videos (http://videos.med.wisc.edu/events/65 )
 Students will have the opportunity to either have lectures or laboratory notes or
self-directed study before their practical or theory class. (https://tophat.com/
(optional)
 Students will be shown an episode of Grey’s anatomy.
 Interactive lecture followed by demonstration/small groups on cadaveric
dissection/ models etc.
Problem-based learning or team-based learning for selected and clinical oriented
topics
Resource tool will be KENHUB for students elaborate learning;
