About
Anatomy Department is located in the campus of Chirayu Medical College & Hospital Bhopal’s sprawling Medical College Building with dissection hall, faculty rooms, histology lab and seminar rooms and Museum on the ground floor with lecture theatre and examination hall on the 4 th and 5th floor.
The objective of the department is to train and teach undergraduate students to provide comprehensive knowledge of the gross and microscopic structure and development of human body to provide a basis for understanding the clinical correlation of organs or structures involved and the anatomical basis for the disease presentations.
Anatomy is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by unaided vision, while microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes. The department is actively introducing advanced learning and teaching methods into the undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
