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 single answer written test (lasting about 70 minutes) structured to evaluate students' knowledge about anatomy. In case of positive result, the written test will be followed by a 20-30 minutes oral test on the musculoskeletal system. Info on the support service for students with disability and/or DSA can be found at http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa

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. 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

Key elements of anatomical terminology (positions, planes, axes, etc.). The heart and great vessels. Respiratory, digestive and urinary systems. Endocrine glands. Central nervous system.

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.

Other information

Slides of the lessons are available at www.unistudium.unipg.it

Learning verification modality

he level of learning achieved will be assessed through a written test consisting of multiple-choice questions (60 questions, 70 minutes), designed to evaluate students' knowledge of anatomy.
