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
- HEAD: Skull: neurocranium and splanchnocranium. Exterior view of articulated skull. Inside view of articulated skull: the cranial fossae: anterior, middle and posterior of the skull base. Encephalic meninges, circulation of the brain, muscles of mastication. Orbital cavity, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, oral cavity.
EPITHELIAL TISSUE: covering, sensory and glandular epithelia: exocrine glands and endocrine glands
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: Nose, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea and Bronchi; The Respiratory division: Lungs containing the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveolar sacs; Pleurae.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM: functional anatomy of the oral cavity , pharynx , esophagus , stomach, intestines . Structure and main functions of the liver, pancreas, gall bladder .
Urinary system: Features anatomical and functional kidney and urinary tract
NERVOUS TISSUE: structure and classification of neurons; Synapses: chemical and electrical; Glia cells classification and functions: Structural organization of the gray matter and white matter.
NERVOUS SYSTEM: Outline development of the central and peripheral nervous system. Central and peripheral nervous system; Functional classification: the somatic nervous system and autonomic / Ortho and parasympathetic.
Spinal cord: general organization and reflexes activated in the spinal cord. Spinal nerves and plexuses
Brainstem: general organization and gray matter involved in motor control. Reticular and vital centers in the brain stem.
Cerebellum: General structure of Archicerebellum, Paleocerebellum , Neocerebellum and functional anatomy related them. Outline of functions performed by the cerebellum in motor control.
Diencephalon: functional anatomy of Thalamus and hypothalamus.
Forebrain structure and functional outline of the cerebral cortex. Basal ganglia and motor activity. Sensory pathways and motor. Functional anatomy of the sympathetic and parasympathetic.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM: anatomical and functional characteristics of Pituitary, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Adrenal and Pancreas endocrine component. 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
