The subject aims at helping students learn the basics of terminology of anatomical structures and organ systems in the human body. Anatomy constitutes the springboard for further studies of physiology, pathological physiology, pathological anatomy and other clinical disciplines. The subject is a part of the set of compulsory subjects.
