Learning outcomes

At the end of this module, the student has a general knowledge of the gross anatomy of the major organs of the human body, but knows in detail the microscopic anatomy of the organs of several systems, which is essential to understand the mechanisms that regulate their function. The student is also able to recognize the organs starting from normal anatomical specimens.

Course contents

General Aspects: Anatomical terminology. Plans and axes of the human body. Parenchymal and hollow organs.

Locomotor Apparatus: Generalities on the joints.

Cardiovascular System: Heart and pericardium. Small and large circulation. Coronary arteries. Generalities on the course of the aorta artery and of the vena cava.

Lymphatic System: Organization. Microscopic anatomy of lymphnodes, tonsils, thymus and spleen.

Respiratory System: Overview of nasal cavities and larynx. Microscopic anatomy of trachea, bronchi and lungs.

Digestive System: Overview of the oral cavity and salivary glands. Microscopic anatomy of stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver and pancreas.

Urinary System: Microscopic anatomy of the kidney, ureters and urinary bladder.

Female Genital System: Microscopic anatomy of the ovaries, uterine tubes and uterus.

Male Genital system: Microscopic anatomy of the testis, sperm tract and related glands.

Teaching methods

Lectures with extensive use of plastic models of different organs.

In the laboratory the student will acquire the skills needed for the preparation of slides for light microscopy, acquire the capability to recognize the different microscopic slides, and understand, by means of dissection, the macroscopic organization of some pig organs.

Assessment methods

Oral examination including the recognition and discussion of a microscope slide.

Teaching tools

PC and video projector.

Optical microscopes and microscopic slides.

Animal organs to be dissected.
