37198 - Anatomy (Part 1) (A-KB)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the tutorials of macro-and microscopic through the use of human bones, plastic models, plastinated organs and human cadavers, the student is able to describe the human body in its dimensional, topographic and functional relations

Course contents

Entire program can be found at Prof. Patrizia Santi website.

Locomotor Apparatus
General information on bones, joints and muscles. Description of the different bone segments and the way by which they articulate with each other. Origin, insertion, innervation and function of the major skeletal muscles of head, neck, trunk and extremities. Topography of the blood vessels in relation to the muscles of the extremities.

circulatory System
Heart - topography and surface anatomy, pericardium, internal configuration, vascularization, innervation.
Organization of blood vessels. Course of of the aorta and its collateral branches. Course of the vena cava. Lymphatic system: organization of the lymphatic vessels, lymphatic vessels and thoracic duct main.
Hematopoietic and lymphoid organs: Microscopic anatomy of: thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, palatine tonsil, pharyngeal tonsil.

RESPIRATORY

Teaching methods

Macroscopic anatomy.
Students are divided into groups to carry out a number of laboratories in which they can study several preparations that help in the study of human anatomy

Under the guide of tutors (students seniors) are provided for some exercises Surface anatomy aimed at identifying the main reference points of the splanchnic organs on the bony structures of reference, and the arterial pulses.

Microscopic anatomy.

Students are divided into groups to perform exercises that facilitate the observation of the optical microscopic slide .

Assessment methods

Final assessment consists of an oral examination in which the student, having plastic models, will have to demonstrate acquired knowledge of systematic and topographical anatomy of the various organs. There will be also a recognition of a  optical microscopic slide.

Teaching tools

Personal computer, projector, CT and MRI images.
