Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student is able to describe human macroscopic anatomy and topography of the central and peripheral nervous system and apparatus integumentary, endocrine, digestive and urogenital. Moreover the student is able to make recognition and diagnosis of organs of the microscopic peparations of the various parts of the digestive, urogenital, integumentary, and key system central and peripheral nervous.

brain areas. Lateral ventricles. Subcortical nuclei and
organization of the white substance. Main commissural systems of
the telencephalon. Limbic system.

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.The teachers will
conduct workshops dissection of
corpses.
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
'also provided the recognition
of a microscopic
slide through a
microscope.
Teaching tools
Lecture using computer presentations, laboratory dissection, models and computer programs
