Educational objectives
The main aim of this teaching is to provide the students with the bases for the recognition and description of: 1) individual human bones, their topographical position and their ossification processes; 2) the various types of joints; 3) the origin and insertion and effects of the contraction of skeletal muscle of limbs, abdominal wall and thorax; 4) macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of internal organs; 5) the anatomical and functional organization of the central nervous system.
Prerequisites
To effectively follow and understand the topics covered in the course of morphological and functional bases is necessary for the student to have a basic knowledge biology, histology, chemistry, biochemistry and physics as it is normally acquired in high school.
Teaching methods
Face-to-face lectures with the use of powerpoint slides. Use of plastic models related to the topics developed at lessons. The education material presented during the lectures (with the exclusion of illustrations protected by copyright) will be made available to the students in electronic format (pdf files) and it does not replace the use of suggested books.
Learning verification modality
The level of learning achieved will be assessed through a single answer written test (lasting about 60 minutes) structured to evaluate students' knowledge about anatomy. In case of positive result, the written test will be followed by a 20-30 minutes oral test on the musculoskeletal system.
