• Study of human bones and joints.
• Determination of age and sex from the bones.

Histology

• Study of light microscope.
• Common objects seen under the microscope.
• Appearance of objects in section.
• Demonstration of tissue processing, section cutting and statining section.
• Study of prepared histological slides of normal mammalian tissue and organs of the body.

Embrylogy

• Demonstration of embryology models.
• Sections of developing chick embryo.
• Specimens of congenital anomalies.

Radiological Anatomy

• Demonstration of normal ski grams of various parts and organs of the body.
• Ski grams of special investigations of various systems of the body.
• Ski grams showing ossification of bones and determination of age.
• Ski grams of pregnant uterus showing fetus of various ages.

Surface Anatomy

Surface marking of various organs and structure:

• On the living body.
• On the cadaver.
