Course objectives

This teaching contributes to the learning objectives included into the Biomedical area of the Master in Cellular and Molecular Biology - Biologia Cellulare e Molecolare, providing integrated knowledge of biological systems and complex organisms;

it also enables students to deepen their knowledge and abilities in the human anatomy and Neuroanatomy sectors respectively

Results of learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding skills

• At the end of the teaching students should:
  - Describe the anatomical nomenclature of the human body
  - Describe the anatomical and functional basics of pathological processes and drug action
  - Link the genesis of pathological processes with the analysis of complex systems (tissues and organs, organism).

Judgment autonomy

At the end of the course students should:
- to integrate knowledge gained in biomedical and neurobiological fields with data obtained from scientific literature

Communicative Skills

At the end of the course students should:
- Communicate biomedical biology knowledge at the dissemination or specialist level

Program

Generalities and Anatomical Terminology.


Osteology: Classification of bones and joints. The skull. The vertebral column; the thorax. 
The upper extremity. The lower extremity. Generality of muscles.


The vascular system: generality, large circulation system and pulmonary circulation system. The heart. The arteries. The veins. Intestinal circulation system, the cerebral circulation system; the fetal circulation system. The Lymphatic system: lymph, lymphonodes, spleen.


The Respiratory apparatus : respiratory tract. The lungs. The pleure.


The Digestive apparatus: generality; oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. Liver and pancreas.


The urinary apparatus: the kidneys and urinary tracts.


Genital apparatus: development and generality; male genital apparatus and female genital apparatus.


Endocrine system: hormone and receptor. Hypothalamus, pituitary gland. Epiphysis. Thyroid. Parathyroids. Pancreas. Adrenal gland. Gonads.


The integument Apparatus: skin, skin appendages, vascularization and innervation, the sensorial receptors.

Nervous system: identification, nomenclature, development, spinal cord. Brainstem, cerebellum; diencephalon; telencephalon (cortex and basal ganglia). General sensorial pathway. The special senses. Motor tract. Cranial Nerves. Spinal nerves. Autonomic nervous system.

Course delivery

The teaching is articulated in:

48 hours of formal in‐class lecture time of Human Anatomy (6 CFU)

practical exercises of Macro-Anatomy are provided, where possible.

All lectures will be delivered in presence, subject to updates on the measures adopted by UniTo which can be found on the University portal under "Provisions for those who study and work at UniTo" (see https://en.unito.it/studying-unito)

Learning assessment methods

The learning assessment is determined on the basis of a Moodle written examination (45 minutes) conducted with: true/false multiple choice questions (8 questions, total 8 points), completion of short sentences (5 sentences, total 5 points), anatomical structures figures to be recognized (4 figures, total 4 points), and one open question (total 0-4 points). The examination will focus on all teaching arguments. The maximum score is 21 points and will be converted in thirtieths (the maximum grade will be 30 cum laude).

Upon request students, who are at least sufficient, can take an integrative oral examination to improve (a couple of points maximum) the results of the written test.

Exams will take place in presence, subject to updates on the measures adopted by UniTo which can be found on the University portal under "Provisions for those who study and work at UniTo" (see https://en.unito.it/studying-unito)

Academic conduct: The penalty for course-related dishonesty (ei. cheating on exams, plagiarism, etc) will be a failure for the entire course.
