Learning outcomes

The main task of the course is to examine the skeletal system, the muscular system, the vascular system and part of the peripheral nervous system (spinal nerves and autonomic nerves). The course addresses the gross anatomy and the microscopic features of these systems and provides their essential morphological-functional bases.

Program

Human Anatomy Exercises I
Locomotor system: palpatory anatomy of the anatomical structures relating to the locomotor system. Chest, neck and head, abdomen, upper and lower limbs. Specific detail regarding the joint structures of each district.

Examination Methods

Written test admitting to the oral exam. For the written test: 60 quizzes with multiple choice answers (correct answer, 1 point, wrong or missing answer, 0 points); the test is passed by achieving a score equal to or greater than 36. For the oral exam: interrogation starting from program points.
