Medical anatomy is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the human body. Anatomy is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by the naked eye. Microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes, which includes histology (the study of the organization of tissues), and cytology (the study of cells). Anatomy, human physiology (the study of function), and biochemistry (the study of the chemistry of living structures) are complementary basic medical sciences that are generally together (or in tandem) to students studying medical sciences.
A candidate must have passed MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BHMS/BUMS/B.Sc.-Nursing or B.Sc. with Zoology and Chemistry as the major subjects or B.Sc. in Life Sciences or B.Sc. with Anthropology as the major subject or a degree equivalent to the above from any recognized University with minimum 50% marks in aggregate.
