The subjects

  • Human anatomy (gr. "dissection", from ana: "up", and temnein: "cut"), 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) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by unaided vision. Histology (gr. "tissue", and -logia) is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues of the human body. It is performed by examining a thin slice (section) of tissue under a light or electron microscope. The ability to visualize or differentially identify microscopic structures is frequently enhanced through the use of histological stains. Human embryology (from gr. embryon, "unborn, embryo"; and -logia) describes the development of the human body from the fertilization until the birth, the forming of organs and organ systems and examines the effects which can influence these processes.
  • It is very important to know the normal macroscopic and microscopic structure and development of the human body, because it serves as a basis for understanding physiological processes and pathological changes. Since the majority of drogs produced or sold by pharmacists influence the health of the people, can effect both extra- and intrauterine development of the human body, it is essential for a pharmacy student to be clear about the basic anatomical and histological structure and development of the human body.

    The study

  • Similar to other subjects of medical curriculum, studying of Anatomy is accomplished out in two interwined forms:
  • The presence of the students on the dissecting room and histology practices is continuously and strictly registered. The number of acceptable absences is set by the regulation of the Medical School; over a certain number of absences (for any reason), the grade-book of the students is not signed, i.e. the course (the semester) cannot be accepted, and, consequently, the student is not allowed to take exam.

    The rules of the dissecting rooms

  • The students should enter the dissecting rooms before the beginning of the practice, before the teacher arrives. The earliest time the students may enter the already prepared dissecting room is 10 minutes before the beginning of the practice. The period till the practice begins is a good opportunity for the students to study the preparations.
  • It is PROHIBITED
  • The students are permitted to stay in the dissecting rooms only during the regular practices in the presence of a teacher. Exceptions:
  • Instruments needed for working in the disecting rooms:
  • Only instruments and objects that needed for your studies in the dissecting room and listed in the previous paragraph can be taken into the dissecting room. No personal belongings, food, drink are allowed to bring into the dissecting rooms.
  • To honor human dignity, we demand proper respect towards the remains of our fellow men, under any circumstances. Therefore, loudness, tasteless jokes, or any other sort of an improper, irresponsible behaviour is strictly prohibited in the dissecting rooms.
  • The students are supposed to make all efforts to save the tidyness, cleanness, the conditions of the instruments and fixtures in the dissecting rooms. The wet and dry specimens should be treated separately. Parts of human origin can only be kept on appropriate trays; waste of human origin should be collected separately in the provided collecting bowls. In case the dissecting table or the floor becomes contaminated, they immediately should be cleaned (prevention of accidents doe to slipperiness!).
  • To prevent any injury, sharp instruments should be used carefully, and should be kept in a hard case when not in use.
  • Do not leave any tool in the cadaver (hooks!)
  • Preparations, models, as well as X-ray and NMR pictures, provided for your study, can not be moved between dissecting rooms without the previous consent of the teacher. These materials should be treated and used with great care.
  • It is STRICTLY PROHIBITED to take away any specimen or teaching material from the premises of the Department. Strict measures, disciplinary punishment will be initiated in any cases against those, who break this rule, or try to initiate with the staff-members to provide them any human material for private purposes. The students are obliged to report, if they become aware of such an activity, otherwise he/she is considered to be an accomplice in the crime.
