Course unit content

General features about tissues, skeleton, skeletal muscles, joints, with particular reference to skull bones. Angiology: heart and systemic and pulmonary circulation. Lymphatic system: lymph nodes, thymus and spleen. General features of human body system: respiratory system (larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs); alimentary system (oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, liver and pancreas); urogenital system; endocrine glands. General features about the central nervous system (encephalon and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (cranial and spinal nerves with particular reference to the facial and vestibule-cochlear nerves). Auditory and vestibular pathways. Auditory and vestibular apparatus. External ear. Tympanic cavity; auditory ossicles. Internal ear: bony labyrinth, membranous labyrinth, organ of Corti
