Educational objectives

The main goal of the course is to provide students with the foundations to: 1) recognize and describe the individual bones of the human body and their topographical location; 2) identify the different types of joints; 3) understand the origins, insertions, and actions of the skeletal muscles of the limbs, abdominal wall, and thorax; 4) apply this knowledge to the main movements involved in both sporting and non-sporting activities."

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

Learning verification modality

The level of learning achieved will be assessed through a structured oral examination, lasting approximately 20–30 minutes, aimed at evaluating the student’s knowledge of the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. The student may take this examination only after successfully completing the module of Principles of Human Anatomy.

Extended program

Main elements of anatomical terminology (positions, planes, axes, etc.). General characteristics of bones, muscles, and joints. Back: vertebral column, joints, and muscles. Thorax: bones, joints, and muscles. Diaphragm and muscles of the abdominal wall, pelvic diaphragm. Upper limb: bones, joints of the shoulder girdle and free limb, muscles. Lower limb: bones, joints of the pelvic girdle and free limb, muscles.

Contents

Endocrin system. Functional anatomy of upper and lower limbs; muscle compartments, vessels and nerves. Proprioceptors. Functional anatomy of nervous system: sensory system, motor system, Autonomic Nervous System. Cranial nerves.

Educational objectives

Improving knowledge of functional anatomy of organs, apparatuses and systems related to motor activity. Understanding the fine action of respiratory muscles. Improving knowledge of nervous system organization with particular emphasis on the nervous control of movement, and sensitivity and motor tracts. Improving knowledge about vasculature and nerves of upper and lower limbs. Acquiring a fine knowledge of the anatomical basis of human movements. Improving the ability to evaluate physiological and pathological conditions through the acquired anatomical knowledge and by a scientific approach. Improving a specific technical language in the anatomo-physiology field

Prerequisites

In order to fully understand the items treated at lessons it is important to have knowledge of basic human anatomy and the organization of the anatomical apparatuses. Knowledge of joint's clasification
is also important. Knowledge of biomechanical elements is advantageous for the comprehension and integration of the treated items.

Teaching methods

Face-to-face theoretical lessons with the Powerpoint slides. Use of plastic models related to the topics developed at lessons. The education material presented during the lessons (with the exclusion of illustrations protected by copyright) will be made available to the student in electronic format (pdf files).

Frequenza: Compulsory. Orario di Ricevimento: after contacting by email at francesca.riuzzi@unipg.it Sede: Dept. Experimental Medicine University of Perugia Building D, 1th Floor Piazzale Gambuli, 1 06132 Perugia-Italy

Learning verification modality

Written exam. The written exam is favourite with respect the oral one because it permits to verify the possess of a higher number of competences. It consists of multiple-choice and/or open questions. Questions are related to the items treated at lesson in proportion to the time to them dedicated. The multiple-choice test is made of 60 questions with 4 answers each, with only one answer right. Each right answer has a 0.5 points value; no penalties are present for wrong answers. The duration time is 1.5 hours. In the case of open questions, the exam consists of 4 questions about different items of the program aimed at ascertaining the degree of comprehension of the student about theoretical and methodological contents of the program; the duration time is 1.5 hours.

Extended program

unctional anatomy of upper and lower limbs; muscle compartments, vessels and nerves. Proprioceptors. Functional anatomy of nervous system: sensory system, motor system, Autonomic Nervous System. Cranial nerves.

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

In order to effectively follow and understand the topics covered in the course, students are expected to have a general knowledge of biology, histology, chemistry, biochemistry, and physics, as typically acquired during secondary school education.

Teaching methods

Teaching will be delivered through face-to-face lectures supported by PowerPoint slides, as well as the use of anatomical models related to the topics covered in class. The educational material presented during the lectures (excluding illustrations protected by copyright) will be made available to students in electronic format (PDF files). Such material is intended as a learning aid and does not substitute the recommended textbooks.
