The section on practicals of physiology includes introduction to hemocytometry, counting of RBC, WBC; determination of bleeding and clotting time; estimation of hemoglobin; determination of blood group, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), heart rate, pulse rate; and lastly recording of blood pressure. Anatomy part of practicals for Semester II students gives the diagrams of digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary and reproductive systems: The structures in these illustrations have to be studied and learnt with the help of the text from the main textbooks. Histological slides of vital organs like heart, lung, liver, kidney, cerebrum, cerebellum, ovary, testis with three points of identification have to be studied. These histological slides should also be viewed under the microscope.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
