Internal Assessment Marks:
Theory: Three sessional examinations evenly spread during the academic year shall be conducted by the
constituent colleges. The average marks of the best two examinations shall be computed out of a
maximum of 30 marks and shall constitute the sessional award in theory. Provided further the colleges
may conduct one special theory sessional examination towards the end of the academic session for those
who might have missed any one of the regular sessional examination on genuine grounds.

Practical: Students are expected to perform the experiment listed in the respective syllabus. The number
of experiments is also listed. Marks shall be awarded out of a maximum of 10 to each of the practical
exercise and an average of those shall be computed out of maximum of 10 marks. In addition, three
practical examinations evenly spread during each academic year shall be conducted. The average marks
of the best of two practical examinations shall be computed out of a maximum of 20 marks. A total of 30
marks shall constitute the sessional award in practical. While awarding the sessional marks for practical
experiments, the following considerations should be taken into account.
1. Preparation of the candidate.

1.1 Human Anatomy and Physiology

THEORY 75 Hrs (3Hrs/Week)

Scope: This subject is designed to impart fundamental knowledge on the structure and functions of the
various systems of the human body. It also helps in understanding both homeostatic mechanisms and
homeostatic imbalances of various systems of the body. Since a medicament, which is produced by the
pharmacist, is used in various disease conditions to correct the abnormal functioning of the body systems,
the basic knowledge of this subject is must for a student to understand how drugs act on various
systems/organs in correcting the disease state of organs/systems. Thus it becomes a prerequisite subject
for the pharmacy course.

Objectives: Upon completion of the course the student shall be able to
Understand the gross morphology, structure and functions of various organs of the human body.
Understand the various homeostatic mechanisms and their imbalances.
Identify the various tissues and organs of different systems of human body.
Perform the hematological tests like blood cell counts, haemoglobin estimation, bleeding/clotting
time etc and also record blood pressure, ECG, heart rate, pulse and respiratory volume.
Appreciate coordinated working pattern of different organs of each system
Appreciate the interlinked mechanisms in the maintenance of normal functioning (homeostasis) of
human body.
