Prerequisites:

The student needs to know the eukaryotic cell organization, the structure and function of the cellular organelles, the cell replication, the cell respiration and the protein translation. The knowledge of the different cell types and their specialization, and of the four different tissues with their classification and organization is required as well.

Objectives

Aim of the course is the acquisition of basic knowledge of Topographic and Macroscopic Anatomy in particular for the locomotor apparatus and nervous system. At the end of the learning process the students will have learned the morpho-functional carachteristics of the organs located within the thoracic and abdominal cavities as well.
The students will learn to represent in 3D the whole human body, both in the superfial features and in the internal organization.
At the end of the learning process, the student will know the position and morhology (both macro and microscopic) of the organs of all the apparati and systems of the human body.They will be able to describe every organ in details, in relation to structure and to topoghraphic and functional correlation with other organs. Vascularization and anatomical and functional interrelation will be learned as well.

Teaching Methods

Lessons: power point presentations including anatomical drawings and pictures from corpses for Topoghaphic and Macroscopic Anatomy, and pictures of optic microscopy slides for Microscopic Anatomy. Pictures and videos from Anatomage, tutorials of practice on anatomical models and videos available on the web will be provided.
The partecipation of the student and the interactivity will be stimulated with the discussion of the addressed topics.
The opportunity of examining anatomical models will be provided during the lessons. Students will practice on the software Visible Body 3D, available in the University digital library.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

An exam, consisting in at least three essay questions on general topics, will be performed.
Intermediate tests during the course can be provided.
The final score for the exam will be the mean of the scores of Biology, Histology and Anatomy.
