Learning objectives

The course is organised in two modules: Anatomy and Histology
KNOWING AND REMEMBERING
- the composition of the human organism as a set of cells, tissues, organs and systems
- the composition of the musculoskeletal system as a set of bone elements, joint elements, joints, muscles and groups, fasciae
- the cardiovascular system, the heart as a complex of fibres and valves, arterial and venous circulation
- the renal system, the kidney, its structures and cells
- the respiratory system, the composition of the upper and lower airways, with emphasis on the nasopharynx, oropharynx, pharynx and hypopharynx
- the central and peripheral nervous system
BEING ABLE TO RECOGNISE
- the various types of cells that make up tissues
- the main organs and apparatuses contained topographically in the head and neck
- the anatomy of the petrous rock and its neighbouring structures
UNDERSTANDING AND REMEMBERING:
- the anatomical bases of hearing, verbal communication, fundamental functions and higher cognitive functions related to perceptual and interpretative mechanisms of sound perception
- the anatomical bases of the vestibular, visual and somatosensory systems and their connections
- the anatomical bases of the bony structures of the skull and the soft tissues of the splanchnocranium with particular attention to the subcortical structures, the brainstem and the cerebellum
- the cerebral blood supply and its venous outflow
- the anatomical organisation of the neck, laterocervical spaces and fasciae and lymph node drainage pathways

Learning assessment procedures

ANATOMY: pre-selection test as a highly-structured written examination (quiz consisting of multiple-choice tests with 60 minutes available), followed by a low-structured oral examination (open questions). Written test awards a maximum of 24 points, the remainder will be awarded in the oral test. Grading in 30s
HISTOLOGY: written examination, semi-structured test (quiz with questions requiring short answers, recognition of histological images, questions with multiple-choice answers), 60 minutes available. Grading in 30s
Final grade: weighted average

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

Clear and fluent exposition using proper anatomical terminology, aimed at describing the structural organisation of the human body in a healthy condition, from a tissue level to a macroscopic and topographical level.
Correct recognition of histological sections in their structural composition and their cells.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

Histology:
Epithelial tissues: lining and glandular epithelia, exocrine and endocrine glands with examples.
Connective tissue proper: loose and dense
Connective tissues with special characteristics: adipose tissue (white and brown); bone tissue; cartilage tissue.
Blood: cells, serum and plasma
Cardiac and skeletal striated muscle tissue
Smooth muscle tissue
Central and peripheral nervous tissue
