The Faculty of Medicine at the University established the Department of Anatomy on 1st August 1949. The Department was founded by MUDr. Vladimír Munka, assistant professor of Anatomy and Topographic Anatomy from Comenius University in Bratislava. At the beginning, the Department lacked high quality equipment for teaching, however, the teaching promptly started on 1st October 1949.
