| Department of Human Anatomy |
| The anatomy branch was founded along with the establishment of the faculty of medicine in AL-Nahrain University in 1986 including: human anatomy, histology embryology, medical biology, and the electronic microscopy unit as well. The anatomy branch deals with the teaching of human anatomy materials and medical biology for the first year students, and human anatomy, histology and embryology for second year students. Moreover, the syllabuses of graduate studies for the Master's and doctoral degrees in human anatomy speciality and joint syllabuses with the rest of the college branches such as pathology, chemistry and diagnostic radiology. The branch currently continuing to grant Master's and doctoral degrees in human anatomy for students who are graduates of human medicine colleges. The first Master's degree in anatomy was granted in 1993, and the first doctorate in the philosophy of human anatomy in was in1995. In addition the branch was adopted to be as training centre for the Iraqi Council of medical specialities in the granting of the first board certification in clinical and applied anatomy in 2004. |

| Training Course on Morphometric Analysis of Histological Sections |
The Department of Human Anatomy at the College of Medicine, Al-Nahrain University organized a training course titled: “Quantitative Morphometry for Histological Analysis.”
(القياس المورفومتري الكمي للتحليل النسيجي) The course focused on the use of the ImageJ software in morphometric analysis of histological sections as an important scientific tool for accurately measuring the morphological and quantitative characteristics of cells and tissues—such as area, diameter, and density. The course aimed to develop researchers’ skills in transforming microscopic observations into digital data suitable for statistical analysis, thereby enhancing the precision of results in biological and pathological studies. It also included practical applications using the ImageJ and Aprio programs. The lectures were delivered by: Asst. Prof. Dr. Huda Rasheed Kareem Lect. Dr. Hussein Abbas Jarallah Asst. Lect. Noor Kazem Jawad Asst. Lect. Hiba Ahmed Abdul Sattar
This course comes as part of the college’s ongoing efforts to support scientific research and to develop the capabilities of teaching and research staff in utilizing modern techniques for histological analysis.

| A course was held in the Department of Human Anatomy on histological sectioning: from theory to practical application in the histology laboratories. |
Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Medicine at Al-Nahrain University, Prof. Dr. Anis Khalil Nail, the Department of Anatomy organized a training course entitled: “Fundamental of Histological Preparation from Theory to Practice” This specialized laboratory course aimed to train participants in the essential skills of preparing histological sections used in medical diagnosis and scientific research. The theoretical component provided a comprehensive explanation of the stages of tissue processing, beginning with sample collection and fixation, handling samples containing bone by removing calcium salts, followed by dehydration, and concluding with wax embedding. The program also included practical demonstrations on the use of different types of microtomes for tissue sectioning, as well as techniques for staining tissues with H&E and other special stains. The course was distinguished by an extensive hands-on component conducted in the Histology and Embryology Laboratories, where participants practiced all steps under the direct supervision of specialized faculty members. The course was delivered by: Prof. Dr. Mai Fadel Majid Assist. Prof. Dr. Huda Rasheed Kareem Assist. Lecturer Hiba Ahmed Abdul Sattar Assist. Lecturer Noor Kadhem Jawad Assist.
