Course Contents
The integrated course provides the basic notions of histology, human anatomy, topographic anatomy and physiology necessary to subsequently introduce the student to the professionalizing field of the course of study
Reference Texts
Refer to the texts indicated in the individual modules
Learning Outcomes
The integrated course aims to provide students with a basic knowledge of human tissues and organs, their relationships and their functions with particular reference to the anatomical areas of greatest importance for clinical practice and human pathology as well as an initial competence in the observation of structures of the human body using non-invasive investigation methodology (RX, CT, MRI)
Prerequisites
Students must have the knowledge provided by the biology courses.
Teaching Methods
Presentations in MS-Power Point format, interactive CD-ROMs and educational websites.
Additional Information
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
