HUMAN ANATOMY A - L

The course will provide students the necessary skills to understand the functional complexity of the human organism and the relationship between the different anatomical structures and their function. The student should be able to acquire correct anatomical terminology.

The specific training objectives of the discipline are the follow:

To know anatomical terms describing the different regions of the body.

To know the reciprocal relationships existing between organs.

To know a specific of body region
To know macroscopic and microscopic characteristics typical of each organ

lectures and exercises on anatomical models
