The teaching of Human Anatomy of the Locomotor Apparatus aims to bring students to the knowledge of the anatomical and functional organization of structures that allow the movement of the human body. An understanding of the topics covered in the classroom should allow the student to go deeper into specific topics in complete autonomy.
The teaching activity is organised in lectures. During these lectures all the issues the student has to know for the final exam will be explained and discussed with the help of visual aids.
Motor Apparatus
General information and classification of bones, skeletal muscles and joints.
SKELETON
Notes on the general organization of the skull.
Trunk: spinal column, sacrum, coccyx.
Thorax: chest cage, ribs and sternum.
