To learn the structural and functional components of human body

To correlate the structural and functions of the organs and organ systems with various diseases

To understand engineering principles involved in anatomy and physiology of human body.

At the end of the course the student will be able to
1. Explain the anatomy of the organ and organ systems of the human body.
2. Narrate the physiology of each organ to the maintenance of homeostasis.
3. Elucidate the physiological and pathological aspects of growth and development.
4. Explain the engineering principles involved in the anatomy and physiology of human body.
5. Understand the coordination between different organs and organ systems.
