It is designed to enable students to gain an understanding of normal body structure and functioning of different organ systems of human body.

Essential aspects of Anatomy and physiology are discussed simply, yet with accuracy and precision. Again, the illustrations complement the text material and foster comprehension on the part of the student. Each chapter is organized from the simple to the more complex, with the anatomy followed by the physiology which deals with the healthy functions of different organs and the change that the whole body undergoes in the module of its activities. Within the chapter, objectives to meet are set and the content availed. Clinical contexts are used through the module in all the areas to make the students aware of the importance of anatomy and physiology in their future nursing practice.
