Anatomy

Study of Normal Man in Preclinical Period

Human Anatomy is the most difficult of all sciences to study. Man is a conscious emntalised, living being and functions as a whole. Human knowledge has become so vast that for precise comprehension of man as a whole development of different branches of sciences like anatomy, physiology and physiology was necessary. But such a division is only an expedient; man nevertheless remains indivisible.

Consciousness, life and its phenomena cannot be explained in terms of cell physiology or of quantum mechanics or by physiological concepts which in turn are based on chemical-physical concepts.

Though anatomy and physiology are hitherto being taught as entirely different subjects, a water-tight barrier should not be erected between them; structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) are but an external expression of an inesilicable phenomenon which is life.

So Anatomy and Physiology should be taught with the following aims :

(i) To provide for the understanding of the morphological, physiological and psychological principles which determine and influence the organism of the living body as a functioning unit:

(ii) To co-relate and interpret the structural organism and normal physiology of the human body and thus to provide the date on which to anticipate disturbance of functions.

(iii) To enable the student to recognise the anatomical, physiological and psychological basis of the clinical signs and symptoms of disorders due to injury, disease and maldevelopment;

(iv) Similarly, to give the student to understand the factors involved in the development of pathological processes and the possible complications which may arise therefrom.

(v) To give the student such knowledge of preclinical subjects as will enable him ultimately competently and rationally all the ordinary methods of examination and treatment (including surgery) that may involve such knowledge; and

(vi) For enabling the student to pick out strange, rare and uncommon symptoms from pathognomonic symptoms for individualisation of patients and drugs for the purpose of applying the law of similars in homoeopathic practice.

II) ANATOMY

Instruction in anatomy should be so planned as to present a general working knowledge of the structure of the human body. The amount of detail which he is required to memorise should be reduced to the minimum. Major emphasis should be laid on functional anatomy of the living subject rather than on the static structures of the cadaver, and on general anatomical positions and boardrelations of the vicera, muscles, blood-vessels, nerves and lymphatic. Study of the cadaver is only a means to this end. Students should not be burdened with minute anatomical details which have no clinical significance.

Though dissection of the entire body is essential for the preparation of the student for his clinical studies, the burden of dissection can be reduced and much saving of time can be effected if considerable of the amount of topographical details is made and the following points are taken into consideration :-

1. Only such details as have professional or general educational value for the medical student should be presented to him.

2. The purpose of dissection is not to create technically expert prosectors but to give the student an understanding of the body in relation to its function, and the dissection should be designed to achieve this end, for example, ignoring of small and clinically unimportant blood vessels results in such cleaner dissection and a much clearer picture of the main structures and their natural relationships.

3. Much that is at present taught by dissection could be demonstrated as usefully through prepared dissected specimens.

4. Normal radiological anatomy also form part of practical training. The structure of the body should be presented linking functional aspect.

5. Actual dissection should be preceded by a course of lectures on the general structure of the organ or the system under discussion and then its function. In this way anatomical and physiological knowledge can be presented to students in an integrated from and the instruction of the whole course of anatomy and physiology made more interesting, lively and practical.

6. A good part of the theoretical lectures on anatomy can be transferred to tutorial classes with demonstrations.

A few lectures or demonstrations on the clinical and applied anatomy should be arranged in the later part of the course. They should preferably be given by a clinical and should aim at demonstrating the anatomical basis of physical signs and the value of anatomical knowledge to the clinician.

Seminars and group discussions to be arranged periodically with a view of presenting different subjects in an integrated manner.

Formal class room lectures to be reduced but demonstrations and tutorials to be increased.

There should be joint teaching-cum-demonstration sessions with clinical materials illustrating applied aspect of Anatomy in relation to clinical subjects. This should be arranged once a fortnight and even form part of series of introductory lectures if be needed.

There should be joint seminars with the departments of physiology and Bio-Chemistry and should be organised once a month. There should be a close correlation in the teaching of gross Anatomy, Histology, Embryology and Genetics. The teaching of areas and systems in Anatomy, Physiology including Bio-Chemistry should be integrated as far as possible.

Theory

A complete course of human anatomy with general working knowledge different anatomical parts of the body. Emphasis should be laid down on the general anatomical positions and board relations of the viscera, muscles, blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics. Candidates should not be burdened with minute anatomical details of every description which has no clinical significance.

Candidates will be required to recognise anatomical specimen and to identify and answer questions on structures displayed in recent dissections, to be familiar with the bones and their articulations including the vertebrac, the skull and with the manner of ossification of the long bones.

Emphasis will not be laid on minute details except in so far as is necessary to the understanding of or in their application to medicine and surgery. Candidates are expected to know the attachments of muscles sufficiently to understand their actions, but not the precise-details of the origin and insertion of every muscles. A knowledge of the minor details of the bones of the land, foot, their articulations and details of the small bones of the skull will not be required.

The curriculum of anatomy should be divided under the following headings :-

1. Gross Anatomy – to be dealt under the following categories :-

(a) Introductory Lectures with demonstrations

III) PHYSIOLOGY INCLUDING BIO-CHEMISTRY AND PSYCHOLOGY

The purpose of a course in physiology is to teach the functions, processes and inter-relationship of the different organs and systems of the normal human organism as a necessary introduction to their disturbance in disease and to equip the student with normal standards or reference for use while diagnosing and treating deviations from the normal. To a homoeopath the human organism is an integrated whole of body, life and mind; and though life includes all the chemico-physical processes it transcends them. There can be no symptoms of disease without vital force animating the human organism and it is primarily the vital force, which is deranged in disease. Physiology should be taught from the standpoint of description of vital phenomena and the chemico-physical processes underlying them in health.

There should be close co-operation between the various departments while teaching the different systems. There should be joint courses between the two departments of anatomy and physiology so that there is maximum co-ordination in the teaching of these subjects.

Seminars should be arranged periodically and lecturers of anatomy, physiology and bio-chemistry should bring home the point to the students that the integrated approach is more meaningful. For example, gross and minute structure will be dealt with by the anatomist while the role of sun cellular particles in metabolic processes and the method to assess them may be explained by the bio-chemist and towards the end the physiologist may deal in an integrated manner with behaviour of the cell as a unit, co-ordinating the characteristic bio-chemical and structural components sub-serving specific functions. Students should be encouraged to participate in the seminars and present the practical subjects in an integrated manner.

IV - HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA

1. Homoeopathic materia medica is differently constructed as compared to other materia medica. Homoeopathy considered that study of the action of drugs of individual parts of systems of the body or on animals or their isolated organs is only a partial study of life processes under such action and that it does not lead us to a full appreciation of the action of the medicinal agent, the drug agent as a whole is lost sight of.

2. Essential and complete knowledge of the drug action as a whole can be supplied only by qualitative synoptic drug experiments on healthy persons and this alone can make it possible to view all the scattered date in relation to the psychosomatic whole of a person; and it is just such a person as a whole to whom the knowledge of drug action is to be applied.

3. The Homeopathic materia medica consists of a schematic arrangement of symptoms produced by each drug, incorporating no theories or explanations about their interpretation or inter-relationship. Each drug should be studied synthetically, analytically and comparatively, and this alone would enable a homoeopathic student to study each drug individually and as a whole and help him to be a good prescriber.

4. Polychrests and the most commonly indicated drugs for every day aliments should be taken up first so that in the clinical classes or outdoor duties the students become familiar with their applications. They should be thoroughly dealt with explaining all comparisons and relationship. Students should be conversant with their sphere of action and family relationship. The less common and rare drugs should be taught in outline, emphasizing only their most salient features and symptoms. Rare drugs should be dealt with later.

5. Tutorials must be introduced so that students in small numbers can be in close touch with teachers and can be helped to study and understand materia medica in relation to its application in the treatment of the sick.

6. While teaching therapeutics an attempt should be made to recall the materia medica so that indications for drugs in a clinical condition can directly flow out from the provings of the drugs concerned. The student should be encouraged to apply the resources of the vast materia medica in any sickness and not limit himself to memorise a few drugs for a particular disease. This Hahnemannian approach will not only help him in understanding the proper perspective of symptoms as applied and their curative value in sickness but will even lighten his burden as far as formal examinations are concerned. Otherwise the present trend produces the appopathic approach to treatment of diseases and is contradictory to the teaching of Organon.

Application of materia media should be demonstrated from cases in the out-door and hospital wards.

Lectures on comparative materia medica and therapeutics as well as tutorials should be as far as possible be integrated with lectures on clinical medicine in the various departments.

7. For the teaching of drugs the college should keep harbarium sheets and other specimens for demonstrations to the students. Lectures should be made interesting and slides of plants and materials may be projected.

8. A. Introductory Lecture Teaching of the homoeopathic materia medica should include :

(a) Nature and scope of homoeopathic materia medica

(b) Sources of homoeopathic materia medica and

(c) Different ways of studying the materia medica

B. The drugs are to be taught under the following details :

1. Common name, natural order, habitat, part used, preparation

2. Sources of drug proving.

3. Symptomatology of the drug emphasising the characterastic symptoms and modalities.

4. Comparative study of drugs.

5. Complimentary, inimical, antidotal and concordant remedies.

6. Tbcrapeutic applications (applied materia medica)

7. A study of 12 tissue remedies according to Schussler’s biochemic system of medicine.

PHILOSOPHY

I, II & III B.H.M.S. EXAMINATIONS

Hahnemann’s Organon of medicine is the high watermark of medical philosophy. It is an original contribution in the field of medicine in a codified form. A study of organon as well as of the history of homoeopathy and its founder’s life story will show that homoeopathy is a product of application of the history of inductive logical method of reasoning to the solution of one of the greatest problems of humanity namely the treatment and cure of the sick. A thorough acquaintance with the fundamental principles of logic, both deductive and inductive is therefore, essential. The Organon should accordingly be taught in such a manner as to make clear to the students the implications of the logical principles by which homoeopathy was worked out and build up and with which a homoeopathy physician has to conduct his daily work with ease and facility in treating every concrete individual case.

The practical portions should be thoroughly understood and remembered for guidance in practical work as a physician.

SYLLABUS FOR 1^ST B.H.M.S. EXAMINATION

I. Introductory lectures – 100 lectures.

Subject :

1. What is homoeopathy ?

It is not merely a special; form of therapeutics but a complete system of medicine with the distinct approach to life, health, diseases, remedy and cure.

Its holistic individualistic and dynamistic approach to life, health, disease, remedy and cure.

- Its out and out logical and objective basis and approach

- Homoeopathy is nothing but an objective and rational system of medicine

- Homoeopathy is thoroughly scientific in the approach and methods.

- Based on observed facts and data and on inductive and deductive logic inseparably related with observed facts and data.
