(histology), embryology, neuroanatomy, and genetics.

These departments are highly specialized and typically feature the following
facilities:

Dissection Halls:
Where students learn human anatomy through detailed cadaveric dissections.
Histology Labs:
Focused on microscopic tissue analysis.
Anatomical Museum:
Housing wet and dry human specimens, skeletal systems, and embryology models.

This department is also running a dead body donation awareness programme.
Body donation forms are available in the office of the Anatomy Department.
The department also has a mourners’ room for the relatives of
body donors.

The department has a genetic laboratory and is working towards
providing facilities for genetic counselling.

This department is also conducting various activities in collaboration with
other departments.
