37199 - Laboratory of Anatomy (Part 1) (C1)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student acquires: - the fundamental anatomical skills on the morphofunctional organization of the locomotor, cardiovascular, lymphatic and respiratory systems. - the ability to describe the macroscopic structure of the skeletal and muscular components of the thorax and the abdominopelvic cavity, with the topographic and projective references of the organs contained in these regions. - the ability to make organ diagnoses on Microscopic Anatomy preparations.

Teaching methods

Lectures with extensive use of images, such as to facilitate the acquisition of fundamental anatomical basis through the stimulation of visual memory. The course is divided into a series of lectures which are accompanied by practical exercises. A part of the exercises is carried out with the use of a virtual anatomical table: Anatomage table, in which exercises on cadaver dissections are carried out. A part of the exercises is carried out in the sector room of the UNIBO Center for Clinical and Experimental and Molecular Surgical Anatomy

In consideration of the types of activities and teaching methods adopted, the attendance of this training activity requires all students of Modules 1 and 2 to carry out e-learning [https://www.unibo.it/it/servizi- e-opportunities / health-and-assistance / health-and-safety / safety-and-health-in-places-of-study-and-training] and participation in Module 3 specific training on safety and health in places of study. Information on dates and methods of attendance of Module 3 can be consulted in the specific section of the degree program website.

Assessment methods

For the access to the oral exam you need to pass a test in multiple choice questions.

The final verification consists of an oral exam in which the student must demonstrate acquired knowledge of systematic and topographical anatomy of the various organs and neuroanatomy. It is also provided the recognition of a microscopic slide through a microscope.

The grade will be graduated from 18/30 to 30/30. The minimum grade can be achieved by a non-thorough knowledge of anatomy, between 18 and 25 for a fair knowledge, between 26 and 29 for a good knowledge. 30 represents excellent knowledge and “cum laude” is added in case of more than excellent knowledge.

Teaching tools

In the field of Macroscopic Anatomy, students have at their disposal human bones, plastic models of joints, limbs and splanchnic organs, animal organs to be dissected under the guidance of the Course Teachers. It is also supported by the virtual anatomical table Anatomage Table.

They also make use of interactive CDs of sectoral anatomy and of the locomotor system, as well as images of coronarographic pictures and sections (CT and RM) of the trunk and limbs.

In the field of Microscopic Anatomy, students have microscope slides and optical microscopes at their disposal.

The microscopic preparations are visible on the Virtual Microscopy website (http://virtualmicroscopy.patologia-sperimentale.unibo.it).
