Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding: the course is designed to give the students the methods for studying the morphological and functional organization of the human body at the different levels: the organs and the gross anatomy of the human body.
Applying knowledge and understanding: the student must recognize organs at the macro and microscopic level. Making judgements: the student must solve simple case studies.
Communication skills: the student must use technically sound terminology.
Learning skills: the student must be able to summarize a brief anatomical text.

Course unit content
General features about 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 (nose,pharynx larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs);digestive 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 vestibulocochlear nerves).Cortico spinal pathways and general sensory system. Auditory and vestibular apparatus: external ear; tympanic cavity; internal ear( bony labyrinth, membranous labyrinth, vestibule, saccule, utricle,semicircular ducts, cochlea and cochlear duct, spiral organ of Corti). Auditory and vestibular pathways.

Teaching methods
Lectures will be held on-site in compliance with safety standards, provided that further instructions on the ongoing health emergency are not implemented. Supporting material will be available on the specific, student-reserved platform (Elly) and will include slide presentations, audio-video aids or video-recording of the lectures.
Assessment methods and criteria
The check of the knowledge will be made by an oral exam at the end of the course, concerning the main topics of human anatomy with reference to respiratory system and auditory and vestibular apparatus.
