The Anatomy Department is a foundational division in medical and allied health sciences institutions. It is primarily responsible for teaching and research related to the structure of the human body. This includes gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy (histology), developmental anatomy (embryology), neuroanatomy, and genetics. The department plays a critical role in shaping the basic understanding of human biology for students of medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, and other health-related fields.
