Department of Anatomy
Introduction
The Department of Anatomy at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence, Kakryal is dedicated to provide a foundational understanding of human structure essential for all medical students. ANATOMY comprising of sub - branches viz. Gross (macroscopic) anatomy, Embryology (developmental anatomy), Histology (microscopic anatomy) and Radio anatomy; is the backbone of medical education. The knowledge of anatomy remains the bedrock for all medical and related medical sciences programs. Thus, Anatomical education provides the solid foundation upon which all other clinical branches and practice will build up. The journey of every medical student begins with cadaveric dissection in the dissection hall of Anatomy department. It not only helps to learn anatomy of human body but also helps in developing surgical skills.
The Department of Anatomy serves as a cornerstone of medical education in any medical institution, focusing on the structural foundation that underpins medical knowledge and practice.
The Department teaches the Human Anatomy which is the basic science subject for medical and paramedical students. Through a blend of classical dissection techniques, histology, embryology and modern imaging, students gain hands-on experience and comprehensive knowledge of human body.
The department is equipped with AV enabled Lecture Halls, Demonstration Rooms, Advanced Dissection labs, a Histology Lab and a well-organized museum.
The Departmental Library offers access to medical undergraduates for reference books pertaining exclusive to Anatomy and related topics.
Our faculty members are highly trained professionals who combine teaching with active research, helping to advance the field of anatomical science. With state of the art laboratories and teaching facilities, the department fosters an environment where students can explore the complexities of human anatomy in depth.
The Anatomy Department also emphasizes the integration of anatomical knowledge with clinical applications. By bridging basic science with medical practice, our curriculum prepares students to apply their anatomical knowledge effectively in various clinical fields, thereby laying a strong foundation for their future roles as healthcare professionals.

Core Activities
The Department of Anatomy plays a foundational role in medical education, providing essential knowledge of the human body's structure and function. Core activities typically include:
1. Teaching and Curriculum Development : The department offers detailed instruction in gross anatomy, histology, embryology, and neuroanatomy. Classes are designed to develop an in-depth understanding of the human body, tailored to meet medical, dental, and allied health science program requirements.
2. Cadaveric Dissection and Practical Sessions : Students engage in hands-on dissection and study of cadavers and anatomical models, allowing them to explore human anatomy practically. This fosters an appreciation for anatomical variation and a thorough understanding of body systems.
3. Histology and Microscopy Training : The department provides facilities and resources for studying tissues at the microscopic level. Students learn to identify cellular structures and understand the functional significance of various tissue types.
4. Research and Academic Development : Faculty and students in the anatomy department are encouraged to engage in research projects focusing on clinical, comparative, and applied anatomy, advancing knowledge and contributing to the field.
5. Community and Clinical Orientation : The department organize community outreach and clinical correlation sessions to bridge basic science with clinical application, fostering early clinical exposure and promoting community health education.
6. Collaborations with Other Departments : The anatomy department collaborates with other clinical and basic sciences departments to provide an integrated learning experience, supporting interdisciplinary understanding and collaborative research efforts. These core activities aim to build a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy, equipping students with knowledge crucial for clinical practice and further medical education.
