Short description of the subject:



Topographical description of the Human Body, in order to locate the postion of Anatomical Structures, identification and interpretation the Systems that compose the Human Body and knowledge of the anatomical basis of human diseases.

MethodologyToggle Navigation

The course has some master classes focusing on anatomical knowledge transmission by the Professor, by means of continuous oral exposure aided by projection of anatomical slides, during which students can participate by asking questions or answering questions posed by the Professor. Students will be encouraged to take part into discussions.

Further laboratory practices are performed, so that students consolidate, expand and verify the theoretical foundations of human anatomy, by experimenting with the anatomical structures available in the laboratory of practices and completing practices guides provided by the teacher in each thematic unity.

LABORATORY PRACTICAL WORK: Assistance is compulsory

QUALIFICATION: %10 and possiility to do the theoretical exam.

THEORETICAL EXAM. (FINAL result: %90): Multiple choice test with 40 questions, where 1,2,3 or 4 could be right. The exam will not be passed if negative points exced 50% of positives or if all results are marked. Theoretical exam should be passed to have the result increased by practical.
