ANA Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology

Introduction

Anatomy is the science that explores the relationship between the structure and function of living things. The discipline of anatomy includes Gross Anatomy, Cell and Molecular Biology, Histology, Neuroanatomy, Embryology, and Developmental Biology. Courses offered by the Department give the essentials of these subjects.
