Learning Objectives

• Anatomy I
  

  The course aims to provide students with the basic knowledge on the knowledge of macroscopic, microscopic and topographical anatomy of the main systems and systems of the human body.

  The course aims to provide students with a general understanding of Human Anatomy and its methods of investigation. Subdivision of the human body in its various parts and its cavities; orientation of organs in space and symmetry planes; terms of position and movement. Concept of organ and apparatus.

  The aim of this course is to make the human body known in its entirety, from the cellular / histological bases of microscopic anatomy to the macroscopic surface anatomy.

  The aim of the course is that students acquire knowledge and understand the structural organization of the human body, from the macroscopic to the microscopic level and the topographical relationships between the structures, correlating them with the anatomical structure and function, so as to provide a rational basis on which to base one's own practical activity and preparation for the disciplines associated with it, such as for example physiology, pathological anatomy, internal medicine, general surgery, pharmacology and theories of human movement.

Course Structure

• Anatomy I
  

  Frontal teaching as principal teaching method with practical theoretical exercises on animal organs, didactic laboratory exercises with plastic models and virtual exercises with the Anatomage (virtual dissection table).
