Course Contents
The teaching course will present the structures of anatomy, related to the
morphology, topography and function of the different systems and
apparatuses of the human body, focusing the didactic presentation on
the morpho-functional aspects.
Reference Texts
ANATOMIA UMANA
McKinley
on-line edition
Didattic material offered through the DIR platform
Learning Outcomes
The teaching course aims to illustrate the functional aspects of the
organs in their interrelation within the systems and apparatuses of the
human body, highlighting the participation of the different organs in
satisfying the different needs of the body.
Prerequisites
It is required knowledge of biology and histology
Teaching Methods
The teaching course will be provided as oral presentation of the
arguments, with help
of Power Point projections, and classroom discussion.
The projections used in class will be made available to students on the
related DIR pages.
Additional Information
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.
Assessment Methods
WRITTEN Exam. The exam consists of a written test with 30 multiple-choice questions (4 options, only 1 correct answer) to be administered to registered students. The purpose of the exam is to assess students’ understanding of the topics covered in the course, evaluating—through carefully designed questions—their ability to apply knowledge in a critical and analytical manner. The written test is considered passed with a minimum score of 18 out of 30, based on the number and type of correct answers. The result will determine the final grade for the course. The questions are designed to assess students' knowledge across the various topics included in the course syllabus.
Detailed Syllabus
Integumentary System: Morphology and Function of Cutaneous Structure and an overview of Cutaneous Appendage.
Osteoartromuscular System: Structure and Functions.
Cardiocirculatory System: Anatomy and Function of the Heart and Major Blood Vessels.
Macroscopic Anatomy of the Following Systems: Respiratory, Digestive, and Uropoietic Systems.
Endocrine System: Functional and Anatomical Overview of Endocrine Glands.
Nervous System: Anatomical and Functional Aspects of the Central and Peripheral Nervous System.
Expected Learning Outcomes
The student must have acquired knowledge of the functional
relationships that structures have within the human body.
The student is expected to have acquired the ability to manage his
knowledge in an applicative way with the ability to find information,
identify and investigate thematic aspects related to the homeostasis of
the human body. As well as the ability to use teaching material and
reading of texts for a reasoned and autonomous study.
It is expected that the student has been able to achieve the appropriate
knowledge to present the morpho-functional aspects of the human body
in communicative terms, in a clear and concise way, for presentations
aimed primarily at a general and school age audience.
