·
Proper ventilation.
SOP for all dissection
activities:
·
Wear appropriate PPE (face mask, gloves, goggles and
lab coat).
·
Proper ventilation.
·
Perform
proper hand washing (with soap and water or sanitizer) before and after.
Facilities
available:
1.
Maintenance
of cadavers
2.
Maintenance
of soft tissue specimens
3.
Maintenance
of bones
4.
Embalming
of dead bodies (to be stored and used for teaching and research)
The culture of cadaver dissection remains
the most commonly used method of practical teaching and learning of human
anatomy.
Procurement: Mainly the dead bodies are received through two sources-
a.
Voluntary
donation
b.
Unclaimed
bodies
Dead
bodies are accepted after
verification of all necessary documents.
On duty faculty member carries out embalming and body is shifted to
storage tank which contains formalin solution. All tanks are regularly checked
(once a week) for water level / any fungal growth. If fungal growth is found then
thymol is used.
Soft tissue specimens are kept in storage drums and jars
(containing formalin solution).
All the preserved materials are inspected regularly. Any
decaying or damaged specimen is discarded.
Bones are prepared by removal of all soft tissues (by further processing of dissected soft tissue specimens) in the department.
Histology Laboratory
Department of Anatomy, JNMC, AMU
SOP:
Wear appropriate PPE (face mask and lab coat).
Follow standard precautions of handling microscopes and slides.
Proper precautions of handling instruments and chemicals.
Perform regular cleaning and maintenance of instruments, microscopes & slides.
All the steps from procurement of tissue to mounting of slide are performed taking standard precautions.
Facilities:
Histology lab is used for taking histology practical of MBBS and BDS students.
Fixation of tissue (formalin, karnowsky’s fluid)
Paraffin embedding (block formation)
Section cutting (by microtome)
Hematoxylin and eosin stain
Special stains- Thionin, Van Gieson, Toluidine Blue, Alcian Blue, Giemsa, Reticulin, Nissl, Orcein, Sudan Black B, Masson's Trichrome, Mallory's Trichrome, Periodic Acid Schiff and Silver nitrate stain.

Museum
Department of Anatomy, JNMC, AMU
SOP:
Museum consists of:
345 soft tissue specimens.
233 models.
They are arranged region wise:
Embryology
Thorax
Brain
Abdomen & Pelvis
Upper Limb
Lower Limb
Cross Sectional Anatomy
Gross anatomy specimens are kept in 10% formalin solution in glass jars. Each jar is labelled & tightly sealed. We have made description of each specimen in printed format along with their labelling.
We have allotted the gross anatomy specimens region wise to our teaching staff as follows:
Embryology |
: |
Prof. Farah Ghaus |
Thorax |
: |
Dr. Nema Usman |
Brain |
: |
Prof. Farah Ghaus |
Abdomen & Pelvis |
: |
Dr. Mohd Imran |
Upper & Lower Limb |
: |
Dr. Nema Usman |
Cross Sectional Anatomy |
: |
Dr. Mohd Imran |
They take care of each specimen by taking weekly visits.
Museum technical staff looks after the water level, position, color of water, leakage of jar. If the color of water is changed or leakage is present then he/she will immediately change the water. Alternate day cleaning is done with all hygienic measures.
Computer lab and Seminar library
Department of Anatomy, JNMC, AMU
Department has a well-stocked Seminar Library and Computer lab.
Library contains sufficient number of books, journals and thesis.
Computer sets are used by faculty members, senior residents, MD and PhD students for academic and research purposes.
Library books are catalogued with Accession numbers for each, in line with the procedure which is followed by the Maulana Azad Library of the University.
Computers’ hardware and software are updated regularly.
SOP Seminar Library:
All users are required to sign the register kept with the designated staff appointed as caretaker.
Certain books like the Dissertation /Thesis cannot be taken outside the Department and should be returned the same day.
Faculty/JR/SR, who are issued the book are responsible for the proper maintenance of the book and should return the same in the condition it was issued.
In case of damage or loss of the book, information is to be provided to the Chairman who may then decide the proper procedure of refurbishing the lost/damaged book.
SOP Computer lab:
Before using the computers, users have to make an entry in the log register.
The users are not allowed to install any unauthorized software.
The user will be held responsible for any physical damage to the computer.
The user should not delete/uninstall any data or software.
Proper decorum is observed. Eating and drinking are not allowed.
Other precautions like dusting, cleaning, proper hygiene are regularly undertaken.
Fetal Lab
Department of Anatomy, JNMC, AMU
SOP:
Ethical clearance has been obtained from Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC) for fetal lab.
Procured fetuses are brought after full parental consent.
They are observed for gross anomalies and photographed.
Records of each fetus with gross finding are kept separately for further correlation and research.
Then they are fixed with 10% formalin using standard established protocol.
After fixation they are glass-mounted and kept in formalin glass jars.
Wherever any research project/PG theses (intradepartmental or interdepartmental) involving fetuses is planned (after due ethical clearance), they are allowed access.
Research works related to gross fetal anatomy and histology are carried out.
All observations are recorded, discussed, published and used for improving fetal outcome and well being.
Facilities available:
Embalming of fetuses.
Jars to keep embalmed/fixed fetuses.
Formalin.
Total number of glass mounted fetuses - 90.
Neuroanatomy Laboratory

Embryology and Birth Defect Laboratory
Department of Anatomy, JNMC, AMU
SOP:
Tissues are stored and processed for freezing microtomy.
Processed tissues undergo freezing microtomy.
Sections are stained for histopathological studies.
Mounted slides are then seen under the microscope.
Scope and Purpose:
Histological processing using fixation and heat may inactivate antigens and genetic material within the tissue, therefore frozen sections must be used.
This procedure is used for the preparation of interval sections for staining and gene sequencing.
Staff:
Faculty and Post Graduate students .
Existing technical staff of the department (no exclusive staff for the lab).
MTS of the department clean the laboratory on regular basis.
