Course offered

Total learning hours of department of anatomy is 530 hrs during first one and half years of MBBS course

Course description:

Anatomy is the branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans, animals, and other living organisms, especially as revealed by dissection and the separation of parts.  

Human Anatomy is the study of the structure of the human body and how the body parts are organized. It is concerned with the structural components of the body and correlates it with normal body functions.

Knowledge of anatomy is required to understand, correlate and appreciate the other subjects to be taught in the Para-clinical and clinical medical courses.

Anatomy course is arranged into 3 terms (1st, 2nd and 3rd).

1. 1st term examination takes place in May and topics include –
   • Thorax, superior extremity, histology card-I
2. 2nd term examination takes place in October and topics include-
   • Abdomen, Inferior extremity, histology card-II
3. 3rd term   examination takes place in March and topics include-
   • Head & Neck, Brain & eyeball & Histology card-III

Regular 1st professional examination takes in May and supplementary in November.

Anatomy course objectives:

At the end of the Anatomy course, the students should be able to:

• Mention, identify, show , draw and describe the structure components of the body responsible for carrying out normal body functions;
• Use the above knowledge to understand, correlate and appreciate the other pre-clinical , para-clinical and clinical medial subjects.
• apply the knowledge of anatomy with the knowledge of other medial subjects to provide optimum health services in the country and abroad. 

Course Offered

Department of Biochemistry offers total 320 (Lecture 120 hours, Tutorial 100 hours, Practical 100 hours) teaching hours during the initial 18 months ( 1 and  ½  years) of MBBS course.

Course description

Biochemistry is the science concerned with studying the various molecules that occur in living cells and organisms, the individual chemical reactions and their enzyme catalysts, and the expression and regulation of each metabolic process. Because life depends on biochemical reactions, biochemistry has become the basic language of all biologic sciences.

Biochemistry course is arranged into 3 terms ( 1st , 2nd, 3rd )  

1st term examination takes place in May and topics includes :-

• Card-1 Biochemistry & Biomolecules
• Card-2 Food Nutrition & Vitamins

2nd  term examination takes place in October and topics includes :-         

• Card-3 Digestion, Absorption, Bioenergetics and Metabolision

Laboratory hazards and the precautions. Identification of Glass wares and Equipments Preparation of Solutions, Photoelectric colorimeter, Estimation of Blood Glucose, Cholesterol, Urea, Creatinine, Total Protein, Bilirubin and Urine analysis.

Regular 1st Professional examination takes place in May & Supplementary in November.

Course Objectives:

At the end of course in Biochemistry the students should be able to:

• Demonstrate basic knowledge of major bimolecules, enzymes, hormones and nutrients and of fundamental chemical principles involved in body mechanism upon which life process depends.
• Demonstrate skills in performing and interpretion Bio-chemistry laboratory tests and procedures with emphasis on those used in Bangladesh.

Course Offered

Department of Physiology offers total 340 learning hours during the initial 18 months ( 1 and ½ years) of MBBS course.

Course description

Physiology, in simple terms, refers to the study of normal functioning of the living structures. The Human Physiology is concerned with specific characteristics and mechanisms of the human body that make it a living being. The subject matter of physiology is the foundation of the practice of medicine, and a firm grasp of its principles is essential for the physician.

Physiology course is arranged into 3 terms (1 st ,2 nd ,and 3 rd ).

Regular 1st professional examination takes place in May and supplementary in November.

Course Objectives:

At the end of the course in physiology the students will be able to:

• Demonstrate basic knowledge on the normal functions of human body and apply it as a background for clinical subjects.
• Develop sound attitude for continuing self-education to improve efficiency and skills in physiology.
