Integrated course unit module: ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Learning objectives

1st LEARNING ENPOINT:
Systematic description of regional anatomy and morphology of human body in its macro and microscopic aspects, in a clinical perspective.

2nd LEARNING ENPOINT;
the student is expected to be able to describe shape, position, relationship, function of the different components of the systems of the human body. The student is supposed to be able to identify individual morphological diversities providing a methodological approach preparatory to the clinical reasoning

3rd LEARNING ENPOINT:
the student is expected to be able to develop an anatomical-based thinking and to possess autonomous judgement on the correlation between structure and function.

4th LEARNING ENPOINT:
the student is expected to master an anatomical language

Prerequisites

Students must possess basic and fundamental notions of Anatomy, cell and tissue biology and biochemistry of the organs and systems which are the topic of this part of the course.

Assessment methods and criteria

The assessment of the achievement of the objectives of the course consists of a written test. Through questions about the contents of the course will be determined whether the student has achieved the goal of knowledge and understanding of the content.
In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely with written test, through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/) and ELLY educational portal.
