Contents Key elements of anatomical terminology (positions, planes, axes, etc.). Cardiovascular system. Respiratory apparatus. Alimentary apparatus. Urinary apparatus. Reproductive system. Endocrine system. Central nervous system.
Reference texts AA.VV., Anatomia Umana-FONDAMENTI, edi-ermes (volume unico, Ed. 2018). Atlante di Anatomia Umana, Netter F.H., Ed. Elsevier; Atlante di Anatomia Prometheus, EdiSES.
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 effectively follow and understand the topics covered in the course 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 anatomic 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.
Other information Slides of the lessons are available at www.unistudium.unipg.it

The course is part of the teaching of BASI MORFOLOGICHE E FUNZIONALI which includes three modules: Histology, Human Anatomy and Physiology I.

The attendance is compulsory, at least 75% of lessons.Room first year  Scienze Infermieristiche, via Oberdan 123 Foligno.
Learning verification modality The level of learning achieved will be assessed by a written test with single test response (duration about 70 minutes) designed to assess the knowledge of anatomy.
