Educational objectives	Improving the knowledge of macroscopic and topographic anatomy of human organs, and their organization in systems and apparatuses. Understanding the anatomical correlations between organs, and the microscopic structure of the organs in relation to their functions.
Prerequisites	To understand the contents discussed in the course, the student must have acquired basic knowledge about the organization and functioning of cells in living organisms.
Teaching methods	The course is organized as follows:-face to face lectures on all subjects of the course. During lectures, teacher uses video and slide projectors as main tools.
Other information	The course is structured in three parts: Anatomy, Physiology I, Istology.
Learning verification modality	The level of learning achieved will be assessed by a written test with single test response (duration about 60 minutes) designed to assess the knowledge of anatomy.
