The module provides the students with a theoretical knowledge of the microscopic and macroscopic Human Anatomy with particular reference to the most important anatomical districts for clinical practice and human pathology.

Elementary knowledge of Cellular Biology, acquired during previous studies.

Power point presentations, materials available on DIR pages

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.

At the end of the module the student will possess knowledge of the micro and macroscopic organization of the organs, apparatus and systems of the human body, understanding the relationship between structure and function. The students must to communicate their knowledge using correct scientific and anatomical terminology.
