Learning objectives

The main aim of this course is to enable students to adequately describe the skeletal system, the muscular system, the vascular system, the integumentary, respiratory, endocrine, urinary reproductive, digestive, lymphatic, the central nervous systems and part of the peripheral nervous system (spinal nerves and autonomic nerves) using the proper terminology. The heart and the cranial nerves are also examined. The course addresses the gross anatomy and the microscopic features of these systems and provides their essential morphological-functional bases.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Basic biology knowledge

Program

Introduction to the study of human anatomy. General structure of the organism and anatomical terminology: anatomical position; surfaces and section planes; movements. Topographic anatomy: general organization of the human body. Locomotor system: General information and notes on the morphofunctional characteristics of bone tissue. Skeleton and joints: general structure of the skeleton. Types of bones. The skull, general structure: neurocranium and splanchnocranium. Description of the individual cranial bones. Spine and rib cage. Shoulder girdle and bones of the upper limb. Pelvic girdle and bones of the lower limb. Classification of joints and general description of the joint cavity with references to the more complex joints. Muscular system: general organization, morphofunctional notes on skeletal muscle tissue. Description of the muscles of the head and neck; chest muscles; abdominopelvic muscles; limb muscles. Cardio-circulatory system: general information; Heart; arteries; veins; microcirculation; pulmonary circulation; systemic circulation; arteries and veins of the general circulation; elements of fetal circulation. The blood. The lymphatic system: lymph; lymph nodes; thyme; spleen. Digestive system: general organization and characteristics of the peritoneum: the oral cavity; tongue and teeth; pharynx; esophagus; stomach; intestine; pancreas; liver; bile ducts; gallbladder. Respiratory system: external nose and nasal passages; larynx; trachea; bronchi; lungs and pleurae; respiratory mechanics and related nerve centers. Urinary system: general information; kidney; renal pelvis; ureter; bladder; male urethra and prostate; female urethra.
