Prometheus anatomy atlas - Educational objectives
- General educational goals of the course of Human Anatomy are:
Understanding 3 fundamental aspects:
1. All Anatomical Systems meet specific functional requirements;
2. All Anatomical Systems consist of various organs functionally interconnected;
3. Cardiovascular system, Nervous system and endocrine system run the functional interconnection of different organs and systems.
On this basis, the understanding of the following key concepts are required:
• normal macroscopic structure of the major organs and systems, with particular reference to a topographic and clinical approach
• Functional and Clinical Considerations applied to the understanding of the structure - Prerequisites
- To effectively follow and understand the topics covered in the course of Human Anatomy is necessary that the student has the basic concepts of Biology and Histology
