Medicine and Surgery

General Objectives of the Integrated Course Structural organization of the human body; main anatomical and clinical applications of the structural organization on a macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural basis, correlating structure and function. At the end of the Course students: • should recognize the essential morphology of systems and organs of the human body; • must be able to identify samples or sections of human gross anatomy as well as to recognize histological sections of organs with the aid of light microscopy; • should realize the bases of human anatomy that are useful to understand physiology, pathology as well as physical and instrumental semeiotics. Specific Objectives of the Integrated Course Knowledge and understanding: passing the exam guarantees the understanding and knowledge of the structural and functional organization of the human body; the student knows the main applications of anatomo-clinical character of the structural organization at the macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural levels of the systems and organs of the human body. Ability to put in practice knowledge and understanding: passing the exam guarantees the ability to know how to connect the macroscopic, structural and ultrastructural organization of the systems and organs with the related functions. The student is able to recognize the macroscopic structure of the systems and organs, knowing how to connect them to the notions of surface, topographical, radiological and clinical anatomy. The student is able to perform an organ diagnosis with the use of the light microscope. Autonomy of judgment: after passing the exam the student is able to evaluate with appropriateness the data of macroscopic and microscopic anatomy and to place them in relation to the data of physiology, physiopathology as well as physical and instrumental semeiotics. The student must acquire the ability to correlate the anatomical alterations and their implications in the main pathophysiological processes that lead to the most common pathological states; the student will have to refer to the knowledge of anatomy in the execution of physical semiotics maneuvers and in the interpretation of the data of the instrumental semeiotics. Communication skills: after passing the exam the student is able to effectively use the communication tools of publications and scientific communications. Learning skills: after passing the exam the student understands the transversal learning capacity that is common to the logic of scientific investigation in the biomedical field.
