Training objectives

------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 011142/1 - ANATOMIA UMANA
------------------------------------------------------------
To know the structure and organization of tissues, organs and apparatuses of the human body. To understand the relationships between structure and function in the tissues and most organs in the human body. At the end of the course the students should know how to use the acquired notions for the purposes of practical / professional purposes, proving to correctly place what they have learned, in terms of microscopic and macroscopic morphology, in the context of the functions of the apparatuses and systems of the human body.

joints. Axile skeleton: description of the main characteristics of the bones of the neurocranium;
spine, ribs and sternum. Appendicular skeleton: bones of the upper limb and limb
inferior. Overview of the muscular system.
Digestive system: peritoneum and peritoneal cavity. Organs: buccal cavity, tongue, salivary glands,
esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, liver and pancreas.

Learning assessment procedures

The verification of the 2 modules (histology and anatomy) will be carried out as part of a single exam.
Verification of learning will be carried out by means of a written exam. The questions will be formulated with multiple choice questions (5 options for each question) and related to all topics treated in class in the modules of Histology and Human Anatomy. The number of Histology questions e Human Anatomy will reflect the number of CFUs of the respective modules in a weighted way. To pass the exam it will be necessary to acquire a minimum score of 18 out of 30 and to have answered correctly to at least 50% of the questions relating to the Histology module. No provision will be made penalty for incorrect or undelivered answers
