Learning outcomes
The student must have learned the basics in the first degree micro-and macro-organization of the human body, so they already had the information necessary for the understanding of the organs and systems in their generality. On this basis, at the end of the course the student: - has in-depth knowledge of the organization by ultrastructural level to the macroscopic level of the central nervous system, with particular attention to the interactions between nuclei and neuronal pathway with molecular aspects - has in-depth knowledge organization by ultrastructural level to the macroscopic of the neuroendocrine system, Nefro-urological; - is able to recognize anatomical preparations under the microscope and is able to perform a macroscopic analysis of preparations by dissection

Brain (brainstem, cerebellum, diencephalon, telencephalon, major areas of the brain). Meninges, the ventricular cavities and cerebrospinal fluid. Major pathways. PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM: Outline of the cranial nerves. General information on the spinal nerves. Visceral nervous system: Organization of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. Endocrine system: pituitary, pineal gland, thyroid, adrenal glands, endocrine pancreas. Urinary system: kidneys. Male and female reproductive system.
