- Understanding 3 fundamental aspects of the anatomical systems: 1. systems meet specific functional requirements; 2. systems consist of various organs 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

EdiSES - Educational objectives
- The course in human anatomy aims to present the anatomo-clinical characterization of the human body at the macroscopic, microscopic, and ultrastructural levels, including the time dimension from embryonic development, organogenesis, somatic growth, and aging. At the end of the course, the student should know the essential morphological and biomechanical characteristics, modalities of functioning and general control mechanisms of anatomical systems, organs, tissues and cells of the human body, as well as their main morpho-functional correlates under normal conditions. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES 1) Knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, the student knows and understands the structural and functional organization of the human body; knows and understands the main anatomo-clinical applications of structural organization at each structural level of the human body.
2) Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, the student possesses the ability to be able to connect the macroscopic, structural and ultrastructural organization of systems and organs with the corresponding functions. The student is able to recognize the macroscopic structure of systems and organs, knowing how to connect it to notions of surface anatomy, topographical, radiological and clinical anatomy so as to be able to identify and interpret anatomical regions and structures. He/she is also able to apply anatomical knowledge in solving problems related to understanding physiology, pathology, instrumental physical semeiotics and clinical correlates.
3) Communication skills: at the end of the course, the student will have the ability to be able to describe and explain (both in oral and written form) the normal morphology and structure of the human body also knowing how to effectively use the communicative tools proper to scientific publications and communications.
4) Learning skills: by the end of the course, the student will have acquired the cross-curricular learning skills common to the logic of scientific inquiry in the biomedical field. - Prerequisites
- Basic concepts in biology, embriology and histology are required Basic concepts of learning methodology
- Teaching methods
- At the beginning of the course, the lecturer explains the main learning methodologies based on modern pedagogical principles for learning. Frontal lectures, clinical anatomy tutorials and practical tests are organized to set up for anatomy students, including plastic models and bone material All the didactical material (slide, videos from dissections) is available on the website Unistudium. The student can download in his/her device the slides of the daily lecture before the beginning of the lecture.
- Other information
- The course of Human Anatomy is topographically and clinically oriented
- Learning verification modality
- The final exam will be based on at least three questions concerning the program developed in the frontal lessons. In this part of the exam, the judgment will be defined on the basis of how the student will answer the questions posed (non-answer, wrong answer or superficial answer or thorough and discussed from several points of view) and on the basis of how he/she demonstrates:
o have clearly acquired the knowledge and skills provided by the Course according to the objectives specified above;
o be able to transversally organize the knowledge acquired by topic during the course;
o being able to express oneself clearly and using the correct terminology;
o have acquired knowledge by not only referring to the material taken from the lessons or provided by the teacher in class (lecture notes, slides or handouts).
Oral examination
The test consists of an interview in which questions relating to at least n. 5 different program topics. The test allows to verify: I) the level of knowledge of the subject; II) expository clarity; III) the property of medical-scientific language.
Parameters for assigning the final grade:
Grade 29-30 cum laude: the student has an IN-DEPTH knowledge of the subject, has excellent communication skills and masters the medical-scientific language.
Grade 26-28: the student has a GOOD knowledge of the subject and explains the topics clearly using appropriate medical-scientific language;
Grade 22-25: the student has a MODERATE knowledge of the subject, even if limited to the main topics and explains the topics quite clearly with a moderate property of language;
Mark 18-21: the student has the MINIMUM knowledge of the subject and explains the topics in a sufficiently clear way although the property of the language is poorly developed;
Failed exam: the student DOES NOT HAVE THE MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE required of the main teaching contents. The ability to use the specific language is very little or none and she is not able to independently apply the acquired knowledge. - Extended program
