Course Objectives

The final objective of the course is the acquisition of basic anatomical knowledge to understand the general organization of the human body with particular attention to the morphology and biomechanics. In particular, at the end of the course the student will know in depth the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy and will know the systematic and functional organization of human body systems and systems. The achievement of the general objective will allow the student to make full use of the subsequent courses that require morphological knowledge and provide the graduate with a cultural substrate useful for practicing the profession and interacting with other professionals. Therefore, the expected learning outcomes foresee that at the end of the course the student will have to be able to remember the fundamental concepts to discuss the correlations between the structures of the human body and their functions, will be able to apply anatomical knowledge and ability. understanding the technical aspects, will have acquired independent judgment. It will also have acquired the basic anatomical-medical terminology and the skills necessary for the professional opportunities provided by the degree course.

The on-going (through digitized teaching laboratories) and final (test) learning tests are aimed at proving the effective understanding of the subjects and the ability to solve specific problems

Course Prerequisites

None

Teaching Methods

Frontal lessons carried out with the aid of electronic devices and a multimedia classroom equipped with a virtual dissection table.

Assessment Methods

Depending on educational needs, intermediate assessments may be scheduled to monitor the effectiveness of teaching and learning processes. These assessments may be non-evaluative or evaluative, and may contribute to the final grade if provided for by the Degree Program.
The exam is aimed at ascertaining that the student knows and knows how to describe the structural organization of the human body and the structure-function relationships.Multiple choice written test with 31 multiple choice quizzes (4 answers possible with one correct) whose mark is expressed in thirtieths. The time available will be 30 minutes. As for the evaluation of the quizzes, the following rule is applied: 1 point for each correct answer; 0 points for incorrect or undelivered answers.
Final grade criteria: Grade 29-30 with honors: The student has a THOROUGH knowledge of the subject matter, excellent communication skills, and masters medical-scientific language. Grade 26-28: The student has a GOOD knowledge of the subject matter and presents the topics clearly using appropriate medical-scientific language; Grade 22-25: The student has a FAIR knowledge of the subject matter, although limited to the main topics, and presents the topics fairly clearly with reasonable proficiency in the language; Grade 18-21: The student has the MINIMUM knowledge of the subject matter and presents the topics sufficiently clearly, although their command of language is poorly developed; Failed exam: The student DOES NOT HAVE THE MINIMUM required knowledge of the main content of the course. Their ability to use specific language is very limited or nonexistent, and they are unable to independently apply the acquired knowledge.
The examination procedures are identical for students attending and not attending.

Texts

- Martini, Tallitsch, Nath - Anatomia Umana, EdiSes
- Anatomia del Gray. I fondamenti, Edra
Any book of human anatomy used for the Medical School that includes all the arguments of the described in the program section

The course will define appropriate reference terminology and fundamental anatomical skills regarding morphofunctional organization. It will examine the main organs and systems of the human body from a morphofunctional perspective. Particular attention will be paid to functional anatomy and biomechanics. An integrated approach will allow for the development of a systemic view of anatomy, useful for engineering applications in the biomedical field.

Course Language

Italian, with the option of taking the exam in English for Erasmus students.
