Learning objectives
1st LEARNING ENPOINT: the student is expected to know the structure of the musculoskeletal apparatus in its macro- and microscopic aspects, in a clinical perspective, with a special focus on head and neck region.
2nd LEARNING ENPOINT; the student is expected to be able to describe shape, position, relationship, function, vascularization and innervation of the different components of the musculoskeletal apparatus. 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

Course unit content
In the first part of the course basic aspects on the locomotor apparatus will be discussed: joints classification and skeleton. The second part of the course will be dedicated to the skull (inner and outer surface and features of each bone). In particular some lessons will focus on the temporomandibular joint (gross, microscopic and functional anatomy).
Full programme
The locomotor apparatus: Joints classification. Skull: inner and outer surface, features of each bone. Temporomandibular joint: gross, microscopic and functional anatomy. Masticatory muscles and mandible movements. Facial muscles. Cranial development. Main cranial points, lines and planes employed in anthropometry. General features of the vertebral column, the ribcage, the pelvic girdle, the limbs and muscles of relevance.

Teaching methods
Class lectures, with the use of anatomical specimens and models.
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. Slides will be available for Dental Students only (“5027 - ODONTOIATRIA E PROTESI DENTARIA”).
Atlas, anatomical models and the laboratory of virtual interactive dissection will be also available. Anatomical rooms with anatomical models will be available for individual learning
Assessment methods and criteria
The assessment of the achievement of the objectives of the course consists of a written test (multiple choice questions on the contents of the course, aimed to determine whether the student has achieved the learning objectives).
Students with DSA/BSE must contact the University's Reception and Inclusion Centre (CAI) in advance and follow the CAI's instructions for any requests for personalised examinations (https://www.cai.unipr.it/ ).
