| Contents | General educational goals of our course of Human Anatomy Understanding 3 fundamental aspects of the anatomical systems: 1. systems meet specific functional requirements; 2. systems consist of various organs between them functionally interconnected; 3. The cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the endocrine system functionally interconnect different organs and anatomical systems. On this basis it will require understanding of the key concepts relating to: • normal macroscopic structure of the major organs and systems with particular reference to a topographic setting of the same • Histological structure correlated with the function • Functional considerations and Medical applications for the understanding of the structures |

| Educational objectives | The course (frontal lectures) is structured with a regional / topographical approach. Specifically, the course is devoted with a specific attention to the clinical aspects deriving from normal anatomy. The course will start with the study of the thorax and of the bony, muscular, visceral and vascular-nervous structures. We will continue with the same methodology with the study of the abdomen, pelvis, perineum, limbs, neck, head. The course will ended with the study of the central nervous system. It is possible to divide the whole course in the various Didactic Units (U.D.) listed below. Didactical material will be provided with slides, notes, guidelines on the subjects discussed in class in order to facilitate the understanding of the basic text. For the interactive teaching activity (ADI), students will have videos of dissections and histological preparations available to be observed in the morphology laboratory. During this teaching activity the students will always be assisted by a teacher. For self-learning hours, students will have available several multimedia material and plastic models. As for the evaluation examination there will be 5 written test in itinere, with a single final vote. The course (frontal lectures) is structured with a regional / topographical approach.

Pelvis and Perineum Training objective: knowledge and understanding of the anatomical limits of the organs and structures inside with their main anatomical relationships. Educational Program: male genitalia: testis, deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, urethra, bulbourethral glands, penis. Female reproductive system: ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva, rectum and anal canal. Vascularity of the pelvic organs and perineum. U.D. Endocrine System Educational Objective: To understand how the endocrine system regulates the metabolic activities (anabolism, catabolism), digestion, hydro-saline balance, energy balance, reproduction. Educational Program: to know the macro and microscopic structure, the hormones produced, their functional role and regulation of the following endocrine glands: pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreatic islets, gastrointestinal endocrine system, testis, ovary. U.D. Head and Neck Educational Objective: To understand the main macroscopic aspects, with particular reference to the position of the cranial bones and the pharynx and larynx. Educational Program: splanchnocranium and know the bones of the cranium, the fountains and their function, and facial expression muscles of mastication. Compartments of the neck, the carotid artery system and the internal jugular vein; morphofunctional aspects of the pharynx and larynx. U.D. Nervous System Educational Objective: To understand how the sensory system allows the perception of the outside world, such as motor activity is based on the interconnection of three major functional systems: pyramidal, extrapyramidal and cerebellar, how the nervous system presides over cognitive activities, the foundation of social life and results of sensory perception and memory, such as the nervous system regulates visceral activities independently of our will. Educational Program: central nervous system: location, functions and circuits connected to the cerebral lobes, cerebellum, basal ganglia, thalamus, trunk, reticular and limbic system, spinal cord, the ventricular system and cerebrospinal fluid; vascularization of the nervous system: polygon of Willis and main vessels arising therefrom, the vessels of the spinal cord, venous drainage of the nervous system. Meninges. Peripheral nervous system: spinal roots, sensory ganglia. Cranial nerves: topography, course and functions. Autonomic nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic. Major neurotransmitters. The sense organs: eye and ear. |
| Prerequisites | Basic biological, embriological and histological concepts are required |
| Teaching methods | Frontal lectures, clinical anatomy tutorials and practical tests are organized in a dedicated calss-room set up for anatomy students, including models and bone material All the didactical material (slide, film dissections) is available on the website of Unistudium |
| Other information | The course of Human Anatomy is topographically and clinically oriented |
| Learning verification modality | Before starting the course, Students are completely informed about the evaluation method and the rules of the exam. The evaluation is based on 5 written tests with multiple-choice questions and figures to identify, for a total of over 700 indications of human anatomy. Through the support of an online platform and written tests, approximately 90% of the cohort concludes the evaluation of Human Anatomy at the first useful session. The score is calculated mathematically on the basis of a proportion between the total number of questions and the errors made. |
