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.

Didactical Units
U.D. Skeletal apparatus

Educational Objective: To understand that the skeleton is responsible for the shape, makes it possible movements, is home to the ancestors of the elements of the blood, is the main deposition of calcium, helps to delimit the regions and the body cavities where they are allocated equipment and systems.
Educational Program: know the position and the general characteristics of the main bony structures of the skeleton (particularly the skeleton of the limbs, trunk, pelvis and skull). This U.D. will not be treated individually, but will be segmented in other units and included in the explanation of topographical anatomy of the various regions.



U.D. Skeletal Muscles

Educational Objective: To understand the main movements possible for the limbs and the main muscles that perform them.
Educational Program: know the muscle compartments of the limbs and the origin, insertion, blood supply, innervation and the possible actions of the main muscles that are accommodated in each compartment.

U.D. Chest

Educational Objective: To understand the functional anatomy of the thoracic cage and organs that will stay with particular reference to cardiovascular and respiratory structures.
Educational Program: functional notions on the rib cage and intercostal spaces; pleura, lungs anatomy macroscopic, microscopic and functional of the bronchial tree and lung parenchyma, respiratory mechanics and functional influences the autonomic nervous system, heart and great vessels: faces and location of the heart, pericardium, and functional gross anatomy of the heart chambers, heart valves and mechanism of the skeleton of the heart conduction system, coronary arteries and their course, aorta and neck vessels, pulmonary artery, superior and inferior vena cava, the pulmonary veins, system of Azygos; mediastinum: limits, division and topographic relations of the viscera present.

U.D. Anterolateral abdominal wall and diaphragm

Educational Objective: To understand the functions of the diaphragm, the anterolateral abdominal wall and the inguinal canal.
Educational Program: main concepts of macroscopic diaphragm, hiatuses and the tendinous center; gross anatomy and position of the external oblique muscles, internal, transverse and upright; macroscopic principal terms of the inguinal canal and its contents.

U.D. Digestive System

Educational Objective: To understand functionally as the digestive system presides over the introduction of food, to their digestion and absorption and elimination of solid waste products.
Educational Program: knowledge of the main macroscopic and microscopic features of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, the most important anatomical relationships between the above structures; peritoneum; vascularization of the gastrointestinal system, functions and regulation of the endocrine system gastroenteric functional effects of innervation of the gastrointestinal system, liver, gallbladder and pancreas: macroscopic aspects, microscopic and functional.

U.D. Spleen and lymph node stations

Learning Objective: to understand the main aspects of macroscopic and microscopic topography.
Educational Program: topographic position and microscopic structure of the spleen, with particular reference to the morphofunctional aspects; distribution of lymph node chains; thoracic duct.

U.D. Urinary System

Educational Objective: To understand how the kidneys purify the blood from the water-soluble products of catabolism, participate in the control of acid-base, govern the regulation of water-salt, participate in the control of blood pressure, the production of red blood cells and all ' apposition of calcium in the bone.
Educational Program: Kidney: location, main macroscopic and microscopic aspects; vascularization urinary tract, the nephron: microscopic and functional aspects of ultrafiltration and tubular reabsorption; ureter: course and microscopic aspects; bladder position, the main aspects macroscopic, microscopic and functional , the structural basis and nervous urination, male and female urethra: macroscopic aspects.
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 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.
