Syllabus

The didactic module of Human Anatomy aims to provide students with the fundamental morphological aspects of the structures of the Human body, with particular regard to the different aspects of anatomy-macroscopic and topographical, as well as microscopic for the subsequent understanding of functional aspects.

In particular:
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: morphological and semeiological knowledge of cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous apps. Particular importance will be given to the area of professional interest head neck.In particular the student will understand the relationship between the structures located in the oral cavity and the profile of innervation and spraying of the area.
AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT: know how to carry out a reasoning on a preventive and adapted basis
COMMUNICATIVE SKILLS: to be able to express oneself correctly from a technical point of view, to be able to connect topics on a topographical scale
ABILITY TO LEARN: Know how to interpret and synthesize a specific text, know how to discuss a clinical case

For a profitable study of the subject and for an adequate understanding of the teaching materials, it is noted as a prerequisite: notions of cell biology, physics, chemistry, histology and human embryology..
Expected Histology and Embryology.

The integrated course of human anatomy aims to present the anatomo-clinical characterization of the human body at both macroscopic and microscopic and ultrastructural levels, also in the temporal dimension ranging from embryonic development, organogenesis, somatic growth and ageing.
At the end of the course, the student will have to know the essential morphological and biomechanical characteristics, the modes of operation and the general mechanisms of control of the systems, systems, organs, tissues, cells of the human organism, as well as their main morpho-functional correlates under normal conditions.
In particular students will study
Head topography , neck, thorax . abdomen, upper and lower limbs
Systematic apparatus
Nervous system mapping
Locomotor mapping
Dental anatomy

General Anatomy: history, anatomical terminology, general organization of the human body (with elements of surface, topographic, radiological and clinical anatomy). Locomotor System: apprato skeletal and articular muscle (the skull, spine, shoulder girdle, upper limb, thorax, pelvis, pelvic girdle and lower limb): differentiate the various types of bones of the human body according to their description; describe the general organization of the locomotor system, the basic components of the skeletal segments, the anatomo-functional differences of the various types of joints and the topographical anatomy of the main muscle groups. Aging. Imaging.
Correlate the morphology and structure of the various types of joints to the movements carried out by these.
Correlate the morphology and overall structure of the different musculoskeletal groups and their joints (spine, head, thorax and pelvis; tracks, limbs and upper and lower extremities) to the static and motor functions they perform.Cardiovascular system: describe the topography, morphology and macro and microscopic structure of the heart (wall, cavity, fibrous skeleton, valvular apparatus, coronary vessels, conduction system), pericardium and blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries). Classify the main arteries and veins of the general circulation and describe their course. Correlate the coronary branches with the myocardial areas they sprinkle.Describe the topographical and clinical anatomy of the cranial, vertebral, thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities. Behavior of the peritoneum (suprmesocolic and subdomasocolic compartments; months; recesses; ligaments or epiploon; omentum; peritoneal fluid). Classification of the abdominopelvic organs according to their position with respect to the peritoneum (intraperitoneal; retroperitoneal; extraperitoneal) and differentiating gender characteristics in reference to the male and female pelvic cavity.Lymphatic System: classify the main lymphatic vessels and differentiate the macro and microscopic characteristics of the lymphatic circulation. Describe the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of thymus, spleen, lymph nodes.Respiratory System: correlate the radiological, topographical and clinical anatomy of the chest. Describe the general organization and generalities of organogenesis of the respiratory system. Differentiate macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the airways: nose, nasal and paranasal cavities, nasal mucosa, pharynx, larynx, concept of respiratory mucosa, trachea, bronchi (main, types of bronchioles) and pulmonary alveoli.Describe the topographic, macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of lungs.Digestive System: describe generalities of macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the oral cavity (mouth, teeth, palate and tongue), isthmus of the mouth and major and minor salivary glands. Differentiate the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of sections of the digestive tract and attached organs.Urinary System: describe generalities and general principles of urinary organogenesis. Describe the vascularity, macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the kidneys and urinary tract. Reproductive systems:describe generalities and principles of organogenesis of the male genital system. Differentiate topographic, macroscopic and microscopic anatomy, vascularization and innervation. Nervous system:Describe the course and structure of the pathways of specific sensitivity: the olfactory pathway, the gustatory pathway, the retina and the optical pathways and the optical centres, receptors, pathways and statoacustic centres.

The teaching will be divided into lectures, with integration of some video tutorials recorded, with a good number of practical exercises in simulation from software during the lessons. The lessons aim to emphasize anatomical concepts and principles, leaving aside the notional aspect and the accumulation of details. The exposure of scientific problems, of study techniques in biomedical research of morphological, structural and ultrastructural type contributes to independent judgment, the development of communication skills, the development of problem-solving skills and the development of learning skills to be generalized to different contexts.Several practical exercises are carried out in order to actively involve them in problem solving; they are used for these traditional skeletons, models and anatomical dummies, as well as digital imaging techniques thanks to the use of special devices that can directly correlate dissection images with 3D images of radiology, computed axial tomography and magnetic resonance.Modern pedagogical technologies will also be used, such as problem-based learning, problem oriented learning, visual thinking strategy, flipped classroom methodology, body painting techniques, modern interactive digital and multimedia technologies, 3-D printing technologies, engineering modelling, gamification techniques, and other innovative methodologies, which will have the task of:
• Actively involve students and stimulate them to elaboration and deep learning (deep learning), for a deeper understanding and a better use of knowledge;
• Stimulate students to interact with each other (collaborative learning), because these interactions can positively affect learning;
• Place students in a professional context and subject them to problem-solving from multiple perspectives, to stimulate knowledge transfer and reflective learning (reflective learning);
• Encourage students to be aware of their previous knowledge and motivated to improve their learning process (continuing independent learning).

Students could be use the powerpoint presentation ( ex cattedra lessons) by the access on moodle platform

The student will have to take the individual partial tests ( locomotor anatomy, general anatomy) in the appeals provided by the exam calendar of the Degree Course. In particular, the performance of partial tests, the results of which must be published using the IT tool «Partial tests» provided for by the Esse3 platform and will be recorded as a single final appeal in which the Commission carries out the verification of the overall results of the integrated teaching and its record-keeping. The Student must register for the online exam of the partial test on ESSE3. The vote of the partial test will be considered valid until the extraordinary session of the academic year of reference.The student, to pass the examination related to the teaching will have to obtain an assessment 18 in each of the partial tests, will not be able to refuse the outcome of the partial test, but only the vote of the entire integrated course and, in this case, will have to repeat all the partial tests. Grade 29-30 and praise: the student has a THOROUGH knowledge of the subject has excellent communication skills and masters the medical-scientific language.Grade 26-28: the student has a GOOD knowledge of the subject and clearly exposes the arguments using an appropriate medical-scientific language; Grade 22-25: the student has a DECENT knowledge of the subject, even if limited to the main topics and exposes the topics in a fairly clear with a decent property of language; Grade 18-21: the student has the MINIMUM knowledge of the subject and exposes the topics in a sufficiently clear although the property of language is poorly developed; Exam not passed: the student DOES NOT HAVE THE MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE required of the main contents of the teaching. The ability to use the specific language is very little or nothing and is not able to apply the acquired knowledge independently.

This teaching contributes to the achievement of the ONU objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
