Learning objectives

Anatomy The educational module of human anatomy aims to provide students with the fundamental morphological aspects of the structures of the human body, the different macroscopic, topographic, and microscopic aspects for the subsequent understanding of the functions of the human body The morphological and semeiological knowledge of the apparatuses. Making judgments: knowing how to carry out reasoning on a preventive and adapted basis. Communication skills: being able to express oneself correctly from a technical point of view. The course aims to provide the knowledge concerning the topographical subdivision of the human body, reference plans and related terminology. In-depth treatment of the skeleton, joints and head and neck muscles. The development of the neurocranium and the splanchno-skull. The blood and lymphatic vessels of the head and neck. The regional anatomy of the head and neck: oral cavity, tongue, teeth, salivary glands, nasal and paranasal cavities, pharynx, larynx. The development of the central and peripheral nervous system, of the cranial nerves. The student must obtain knowledge of general anatomy, concerning the different systems (nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, locomotor, digestive, urogenital, lymphatic, endocrine), to complete the acquired knowledge of the special anatomy of head and neck.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Basic knowledge of Cell Biology and Histology

Program

The course aims to guide students through the general organization of the macroscopic and microscopic structure of organs, systems, and their topographical and functional integration into the architecture of the human body. The following systems will be described using a hybrid regional and systematic approach: integument, musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, and skeletal muscles), circulatory system (heart, blood vessels), lymphatic system (lymphoid organs and lymphatic vessels), digestive system, urinary system, genital system, endocrine system, nervous system (central and peripheral, somatic and autonomic), and sense organs. The anatomy of the head and neck region will be described in particular detail using topographical and sectional descriptive approaches.

Bibliography

Didactic methods

The course will include lectures, with the aid of slides and interactive 3D software, practical laboratories on anatomical models and microscopic preparations, anatomical dissection laboratories on cadavers.

Learning assessment procedures

oral exam

Evaluation criteria

the exam will evaluate the student's understanding of the morpho-functional organization of all the organs and systems of the human body and, with particular detail, of the anatomical structures of the head and neck. The student's ability to describe these structures according to a logical approach and with an appropriate anatomical language will also be evaluated.
