The module aims to provide the basics of human, microscopic and macroscopic anatomy. The notions are presented during frontal teaching activities, and through video materials made available on the DIR platform.

Students must have the knowledge provided by biology and histology courses.

Frontal lessons with the help of power point presentations, Anatomage virtual dissection table.

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-learning-disabilities
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.

Verification of learning is carried out through a first written test. The written test is based on 30 multiple choice questions (5 answers for each question, one correct answer).

Introduction to the study of human anatomy, anatomical terminology, anatomical position, anatomical axes and planes, and movements. Definition of hollow and full organs, apparatuses, and systems. Anatomical investigation methods.
Descriptive and functional anatomy of the following systems.
-Musculoskeletal system: Bone tissue and types of bones. Definition of articulation and classification: synarthrosis and diarthrosis. Axile and appendicular skeleton (description of the bones and main joint systems).
Introduction to the muscle structure and description of the main muscle groups: facial and chewing muscles, neck muscles, back muscles, appendicular and respiratory thoracic, abdominal wall, hip muscles, pelvic floor, muscles of the upper and lower limbs.
- Cardiovascular system: pulmonary and systemic circulation. The heart: heart valves, veins and arteries, topographical anatomy of arterial and venous vascular territories—organization of the lymphatic system, lymph, and lymph nodes.
- Respiratory system: upper and lower airways (Nasal Cavity, Larynx, Trachea and Bronchi, Lungs, Pleura).
- Digestive system: Oral cavity, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and spleen.
- Urinary system: Kidneys, Renal pelvis, Ureter, Urinary bladder, male and female urethra.
-Genital system: male (testicle, epididymis, vas deferens and spermatic cord, prostate, penis).
Female (ovary, tube, uterus, vaginal canal).
- Endocrine system: Hypophysis, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Pancreatic islet, Adrenal glands, Gonads.
- Nervous system.
Central nervous system: Spinal cord, Brainstem, Cerebellum, Diencephalon, Telencephalon and Basal Ganglia.
Peripheral nervous system: spinal nerves, cranial nerves
Autonomic nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers.

Knowledge of organs, systems and systems in their comparison and structure, relationships and involvement in clinical aspects.
