Training objectives
- After completing the course, divided into two semesters, the student should know the shape and structure of the main organs of the apparatus of the human body, with particular reference to the systems involved in the mechanisms that allow and regulate the motor activity. This basic knowledge will allow students to understand the correlations between the structures of the human body and its functions and functional mechanisms that enable communication, control and integration of body functions.
Prerequisites
- Knowledge of the basics of Cytology, Biology and Histology (the basics of histology will be provided as part of the same course of Anatomy).
Course programme
- GENERAL ANATOMY: Regional and Systemic anatomy
General principles of the human body. Systems and organs: definition and structure of hollow and parenchymal organs. Serous membranes. Subdivision of the human body; external and internal examinations.
Anatomical terminology. Anatomical position. Anatomical planes and sections. Movements.
Generality Integumentary System: Functions of the skin, Fasciae Superficial and Deep
Locomotor Apparatus
Generality and functions of the skeletal and muscular skeletal systems
Connective tissue: Properly known; bone, cartilage;
General information on skeletal muscle tissue
General on the bones: general terminology, morphological classification, structure and functions.
General on the joints: Fibrus joints; Cartilaginous joints and Synovial joints (classification, structure and movements).
Generalities on muscles: general terminology, morphological and functional.
Accessory organs of muscles and tendons: bands, sheaths, bags
Structure of tendons and aponeurosis.
Trunk
- Spine: Skeleton of the spine and their joints. The muscles of the spine.
- Neck Wall: Neck muscles. Bands of the neck.
- Thorax Wall: Skeleton of the chest and its organizational structure. Intrinsic and extrinsic muscles; muscle Diaphragm. Respiratory Mechanics.
- Abdomen Wall: Abdominal muscles and related bands.
- Pelvis: Skeleton of the pelvis. Pelvic wall and pelvic diaphragm.
Upper limb
Skeleton of the upper limb and associated joints. Muscles of the upper limb. Morphofunctional aspects of of the upper limb.
Lower Limb
Skeleton of the lower limb and associated joints. Muscles of the lower limb. Morphofunctional aspects of the lower limb.
Cardiovascular system
Heart: morphology, location, orientation, external and internal configuration, relationships and structure of the heart wall, conduction system ; vascularization. Pericardium.
Vases: General characteristics of the arteries, capillaries and veins ; systems or networks portals admirable ; arteriovenous anastomosis. General organizational framework of the arterial and venous systems.
Pulmonary circulation (small circle)
Systemic circulation (large circle:
Aorta: course; main branches of Aorta and its distribution area
Veins: Veins cava upper and lower; azygos system of veins; portal vein system
Arterial circulation, deep vein and superficial vein of the upper limb.
Arterial circulation, deep vein and superficial vein of the lower limb.
General lymphatic circulation and lymphatic system functions Didactic methods
- The course consists of lectures divided between the first semester (40 hours) and the second semester (32 hours) covering all the topics of the course. The lessons utilizing the following educational tools: power point presentations and visual aids.
The course also provides theoretical and practical activity, organized for all students, in small groups, to improve the knowledge of anatomy with the help of anatomical models. Learning assessment procedures
- For students enrolled in the first year of course there will be two written partial tests, one at the end of the first half and one at the end of the second semester regarding the respective topics covered in class. Passed the first test in progress is a prerequisite for admission to the second test in progress. Each partial test involves 33 multiple choice questions with one correct answers each. The score of the answers questions correctly is one. The questions not answers and wrong answers are worth zero. Each partial test lasts one hour. To pass the test you must acquire 18 points out of 33. The verbalization of the final score resulting from the weighted average of the scores obtained in the two partial tests, involves the registration of the student to an official exam session.
If students do not participate in partial tests during the course or have not overcome them, students will take the examination single (relative to all the topics covered in the two semesters) in the context of appeals officers. The exam will be written with 33 multiple choice questions with one correct answers each. The score of the answers questions correctly is one. The questions not answers and wrong answers are worth zero. The examination lasts an hour and to overcome it is necessary to obtain 18 points out of 33. Reference texts
