Learning Objectives
The student will demonstrate the full knowledge of the human body, being able to describe the macro and microscopic structure of each apparatus, system and organ. At the end of the course, students will be able to describe with complete and correct terms the structural organization of the human body along with the contribution of the structure to the specific function.
Prerequisites
None
Teaching Methods
The course includes lectures supported by slide projection and anatomical models available
Further information

Type of Assessment
Oral exam at the end of the course.
The exam will last 20-30 minutes. It is based on 2/3 questions concerning the various topics of the program course. The questions serve to test the level of knowledge of the topics covered during the course and to assess the ability of the student in describing with correct anatomic terminology the structure/function relationships of tissues, organs and systems. The final grade will be expressed as thirtieths (minimum grade 18). Evidence of serious deficiencies in basic knowledge will result in failure to pass the exam
