The teaching course wants to offer to each male and female student a wide and complete knowledge of the nervous system, which is essential in the management of clinical-diagnostic evidences, following the different disease affecting the nervous system.

Each female and male student must have the knowledge provided by Anatomy I- teaching course, such as the basilar knowledge provided by biology and histology teaching.

Teaching will be delivered as oral presentation, with Power Point projections auxilium, and discussion in the classroom. On-line lessons will be performed, to detail some topics Le vie nervose della sensibilità specifica. La neurosecrezione: aspetti anatomo-funzionali di Epifisi ed Ipofisi Il Sistema Limbico ed i centri di gestione Emotivo-Istintuale Le Aree Corticali: topografia e significati funzionali Le Meningi craniche e spinali: aspetti funzionali. I ventricoli encefalici e la circolazione liquorale. Richiami agli aspetti anatomo-funzionali della vascolarizzazione del sistema nervoso centrale. Il Sistema Nervoso Periferico: generalità, organizzazione anatomica, aspetti strutturali dei nervi ed i gangli. I nervi encefalici: relazioni funzionali e aspetti anatomici del loro decorso. I nervi spinali: la formazione dei plessi, aspetti anatomici del decorso dei nervi somatici. Il sistema nervoso autonomo: Ortosimpatico e Parasimpatico: organizzazione anatomica e significato funzionale. Il Metasimpatico. - INTEGRAZIONE della DIMENSIONE di GENERE Analisi delle funzionalità delle differenti aree cerebrali in relazione alle differenze di genere negli aspetti sociali e comportamentali. Risultati di apprendimento attesi/Intended learning objectives Ci si attende che ciascun studente/studentessa abbia acquisito la conoscenza dettagliata della topografia e degli aspetti funzionali delle strutture del Sistema Nervoso Centrale e l’anatomia dei decorsi dei profili nervosi del Sistema Nervoso Periferico, al fine di identificare i foci di alterazione patologica ed il loro significato clinico. Ci si attende altresì che lo studente abbia maturato la capacità di comprendere e correlare gli aspetti funzionali delle diverse strutture del Sistema Nervoso Centrale e Periferico a supporto delle espressioni cliniche nelle manifestazioni patologiche che possano coinvolgere in varia misura il Sistema Nervoso Obiettivi per lo sviluppo sostenibile Codice Descrizione The power point projections will be made available to all students on the relative DIR pages

All female and male students with physical disabilities, Learning Disabilities or Special Education Needs can request specific services and tools via the Staff "Sviluppo e Coordinamento Carriere e Servizi alle Studentesse e agli Studenti", consulting the University webpage: https://www.uniupo.it/en/services/services-students-physical-or-learningdisabilities Students with disabilities, learning disabilities or special education needs, once they have contacted the University Staff, can refer to the tutor in charge of the course to define the examination modalities, concerning academic aspects. Interim test and classroom discussion may be performed in according with all students

The exam provides a written test that will be submitted to each female and male student to evaluate the acquisition of knowledge in the various subjects of the course. The exam aims to verify the student's ability to focus on the topics developed by the course WRITTEN EXAM The written exam consists of 30 multi-choice questions -5 options, of which only one exact- Students will have 1 min for resolve each single quiz The questions will highlight topics such as: 3 questions: spinal cord (morphology, functional areas and nerve pathways) 5 questions: Functional areas of the Encephalon (Brainstem, Cerebellum, Midbrain, Diencephalon) 5 questions: Brain Nuclei (Topography and Function) 3 questions: nerve funicular pathways (regional topography and function) 3 questions: cortical areas (topography, nomenclature and functions) 3 questions: Deep nuclei of the telencephalon (topography and function) 2 questions: Peripheral nerve (topography and function) 3 questions: Encephalic nerve (topography and function) 1 questions: Sympathetic system (anatomical architecture and function) 2 questions: Eye and Ear All students participating in the exam will be offered a day of checking and viewing the correction / evaluation of the written test Each question of the quiz focuses on a different fundamental concept, requiring specific and correct knowledge of the Anatomy of the Nervous System; therefore, the evaluation of the quiz acquires a selective profile. The test will be considered positive if at least 18 questions of the quiz, will be correctly resolved. ORAL EXAM The oral exam wants to test the ability to manage information and functional relationships of the motor, psychic and visceral outputs that are the basis of human pathology and, in the clinical practice of focused tests useful to identify specific neurologic or psychiatric diseases. Oral examination part will be performed by 3/4 questions on arguments of the course lessons; the vote shall participate to define the final vote of the HUMAN ANATOMY teaching course.

The Central Nervous System: general overview. The Spinal Cord: Organization of the gray matter: laminae, nuclei, functional areas. Spinal reflexes. Organization of the white matter: the nerve funicular pathways of motricity and sensibility. Anatomy and function of areas and nuclei of the different parts of the brain: Bulb, Pons, Midbrain, Cerebellum, Diencephalon, Telencephalon. Functional interconnection pathways of the nuclei. The nerve pathways of the special senses. Neurosecretion: anatomy and function of Epiphysis and Pituitary gland The limbic system and the emotional centers of the instinct. The cortical areas: topography and function. The cranial and spinal meninges: anatomy and function. The cerebral ventricles and cerebrospinal fluid. Anatomy and function of the central nervous system vascularization. The Peripheral Nervous System: general anatomy, nerves and ganglia. The spinal nerves: anatomy of plexus, anatomical details of somatic nerves pathways. The autonomic nervous system: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system: anatomical details and function. The enteric nervous system. Cranial nerves: anatomy and function, pathway details. - INTEGRATION of the GENDER DIMENSION Analysis of the functionality of the different brain areas in relation to gender differences in social and behavioral aspects.

Each female and male student is expected to have acquired detailed knowledge of the topography and functional aspects of the Central Nervous System structures and the anatomy of the nerve course of the Peripheral Nervous System, in order to identify the foci of pathological alteration and their clinical relevance. Each male and female student is also expected to have acquired the ability to understand and correlate the functional aspects of the different structures of the Central and Peripheral Nervous System occurring in pathological manifestations that may involve the nervous system.
