The module aims to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of specific aspects of human anatomy that are important for their functional and clinical implications, tailored to the professional nature of the degree program.

Students must possess the knowledge provided by the Human Anatomy course, in addition to the essential baseline knowledge of biology and histology.

Power point presentations, materials available on DIR platform.

Students with disabilities, specific learning disabilities (SLD/DSA), or special educational needs (SEN/BES) may request specific services and tools dedicated to them by contacting the student careers and services development and coordination staff and by consulting the dedicated page on the University website: https://uniupo.it/it/servizi/servizi-studenti-disabili-e-dsaOnce in touch with the University Staff, students with disabilities, DSA, or BES may contact the professor in charge of the course regarding the adaptation of examination procedures.

Written exam with multiple-choice questions on the topics specified in the detailed syllabus.

Nervous system organization. Anatomical structures for nervous movement control: pyramidal and extrapyramidal pathways. Description, functionality and clinical anatomy of the nerve plexuses: cervical plexus, brachial plexus, lumbar plexus, sacral plexus and coccygeal plexus.

Upon completion of the module, students will be expected to have adequate knowledge of specific microscopic and macroscopic structures related to the nervous system, understand the relationship between their structure and function, and possess a good knowledge of the clinical issues these structures may present.
