Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide the student with the cognitive and methodological tools necessary for:
Human anatomy
Understanding the overall morphology of the various anatomical structures;
Understanding the macroscopic and microscopic structure of the individual devices;
Understanding how the various systems;
Correlate the equipment in a general functional scheme;
Apply the acquired knowledge in the understanding of the main dysfunctions following congenital or acquired alterations of the organ anatomy, through references of clinical anatomy.
At the end of the course the student will have to:
To know the organization of human anatomy;
To know the morphology and the seat of the organs of the different apparatuses;
Know and relate the organ functions also according to the main diseases.
Course contents
Locomotor system:
Skeletal architecture of the bones and the main joints. Definition of the mechanical, dynamic and metabolic aspects of the skeletal and muscular system. Bones of the skull, vertebral column, rib cage, pelvis, bones of the limbs. Articulations of the scapular, coxofemoral and knee girdles. Notions of deltoid muscles, trapezius, respiratory muscles, quadriceps femoris. Implications in clinical practice.
Cardiovascular system:
Morphological representation of the heart and the systemic circle. Morpho-functional description of cavitary and valve systems in their dynamic and functional relationships. Description of the conduction system. Implications in clinical practice.
Urinary system:
Description of the renal apparatus and of the excretory ways, their morphological representation and topographic relationships.
Respiratory system:
Description of the respiratory tree, morphological representation of the apparatus and its topographic relationships. Description of the respiratory mechanics with reference to the musculoskeletal component. Morpho-functional description of nose and nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. Morpho-functional description of the exchange barrier. Implications in clinical practice.
Auditory and balance apparatus:
Description of the apparatus and its morphological representation. Description of the vestibular complex and equilibrium, mechanical and dynamic aspects. Implications in clinical practice.
Nervous system:
Description and organization of the central and peripheral nervous system.

Assessment methods
The examination of the Human Anatomy module consists of a written test using multiple choice tests.
The test includes 30 questions with 4 possible answers, each question has only a correct answer. The time available for delivery is 30 '
The evaluation of the answer is based on the following criterion:
1 point for each correct answer
0 points for each wrong answer or no answer
The test is considered to be passed with a correct number of answers not less than 18/30. The evaluation, presented in thirtieths, will contribute together with the evaluation of the other modules to the formulation, through the average, of the final grade.
Only in the case of a passed test, the student can decide to improve the evaluation obtained through an oral exam. In this case the evaluation of the writing will have no more value and that obtained with the new oral test will be valid.
The passed test of the Human Anatomy module is valid until December of the current year.
In the ordinary and recovery sessions there are no jumps of appeal.
The exam program, if not specified by the teacher, consists of the subjects taught in the class.
Students are invited to verify the actual registration in the appeals in good time. Those who are not regularly enrolled in the esse3 platform will NOT be admitted to the exam.
