Contents | 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 |

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 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 | Before starting the course, Students are completely informed about the evaluation method and the rules of the exam. The evaluation is based on 1 written test with multiple-choice questions and figures to identify, The score is calculated mathematically on the basis of a proportion between the total number of questions and the errors made. |
Extended program | MAIN ELEMENTS OF ANATOMIC TERMINOLOGY. Thorax, abdomen, inguinal canal, urinary system, digestive system,pelvis and perineum, arm, leg, nervous system, eye, ear, endocrine systemm. |
