  Introduction

Veterinary anatomy is the basic science to study the form, structure and function of animal?s body. Originally the term "anatomia" derives from the Greek ana, meaning "apart", and the tome, meaning "cut".
Students gain an anatomical knowledge of the cadaver specimen through dissection, palpation and observation with the naked eye. The objective of the basic veterinary anatomy is to get a clear understanding of the normal structure of the body with a dog, sheep or goat. The comparative veterinary anatomy treats systemically the major domestic species such as horse, ox, dog, goat and chicken etc. We are demonstrating this course with systematic and regional anatomical methods.
System-oriented anatomy deals with the structure of groups of organs that are closely related to a common function, for example, the digestive system, the circulatory system, and the respiratory system e.t.c.
Regional anatomy is one of the foundations of clinical practice focused on the relationships within special regions of the body. This course is mainly practically oriented. The overall objectives of the department are:

  1. Strengthening of existing laboratory facilities through up gradation of equipment and allied components.

  2. Technical support to D.V.M. students in the Department.

  3. Developing close liaison with sister universities and other institutes by providing histological slides and articulated skeletons and chemically treated loose bones of different animals allocated in the prescribed curriculum.

  4. To promote the importance of anatomy and histology and to encourage the young researchers in the field of anatomy & histology.

  5. To support university and departmental goals by providing the highest possible level of professional and graduate veterinary medical education, resident training, and clinical service in the disciplines of anatomy, histology, radiology, surgery, and reproduction.,to develop quality basic and clinical research efforts that are applicable to these fields; and, to provide outstanding veterinary services and extension efforts to the citizens of Pakistan
