Learning outcomes:
To be able to:
­- Central Nervous system: dissection and recognition of macroscopic and microscopic structures.
­- Peripheral Nervous system: special senses, skin and its appendages: dissection and recognition of macroscopic and microscopic structures,
­- Endocrine system: recognition of microscopic structures,
­- Clinical integration through clinical and surgery anatomy seminars.

- Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, the student should know and understand:
• The morphology and structural organization of the systems and organs of the human body, at both macroscopic and microscopic levels;
• The spatial relationships between the various organs of the human body;
• The anatomical terminology useful for the morphological description of anatomical structures.
- Applying knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, the student should have acquired the following skills:
• A methodological study criterion useful in describing the architecture and spatial relationships among the various structures of the human body;
• The ability to connect the macroscopic and microscopic organization of systems and organs with the corresponding functions.
- Making informed judgments and choices
At the end of the course, the student should have acquired the following skills:
• The ability to reflect autonomously and critically on the structural organization (macroscopic and microscopic) of the systems of the human body;
• The ability to understand the relationship between morphology and function of organs, even intuiting the pathophysiological potential of the structures under examination.
- Communicating knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, the student should be able of:
• Exposing in a thorough, precise and comprehensive manner the knowledge acquired through appropriate use of the specific language of the discipline.
- Capacities to continue learning
Upon completion of the course, the student should:
• Demonstrate the ability to reach conclusions independently, providing examples and making parallels based on what has been learned from the syllabus;
• Acquire a method of study that allows the ability to independently update on the contents of human anatomy, also using supplementary sources not necessarily provided by the teacher.

Human Anatomy I: Basic knowledge of physics, chemistry and biology.
Human Anatomy II: Knowledge of the main cytologic and histologic characteristics of the human body; knowledge of human embryology; knowledge of the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system and of the heart.
Human Anatomy III: Knowledge of the main cytologic and histologic characteristics of the human body; knowledge of human embryology; knowledge of the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system and of the heart; knowledge of the anatomy of splanchnic viscera.

Frontal classes (face-to-face), theoretical/practical didactic activity. Electives (Elective Didactic Activity -EDA-, tutoring lab).

The attendance is compulsory.
Attendance recording: paper-based

Inglese
Human Anatomy I
Ongoing examination: oral and practical test (skeletal segments and muscle groups identification).
Human Anatomy II
Ongoing examination: oral and practical test (autoptic identification of the organs, microscopic examination and diagnosis of the structure of the organs).
Human Anatomy III
Final exam: oral and practical test (autoptic identification of the organs, microscopic examination and diagnosis of the structure of the organs).
Oral exam: At least three questions, both cognitive and applicative, including elements of anatomical-functional and anatomical-clinical reasoning, with a weighted average evaluation.
Practical exam: Identification of the main encephalic structures on a cadaver or anatomical model.
Additional information: For the Human Anatomy exam, two ongoing examinations are scheduled — Human Anatomy I and Human Anatomy II. However, it is also possible to take the exam in a single session. The validity of the ongoing examinations complies with the current regulations governing examinations.
The final evaluation will be elaborated and expressed in thirtieths.
