Students at the end of the course will know how to:
• describe the contents related to the head regions, limbs, chest, abdomen, pelvis and perineum, and microscopic anatomy of the organs of the human body, with links to descriptive and systematic anatomy (shape, location, relationships), topography (loco-regional) and clinical.
At the end of the course students will have developed the ability to:
• recognize and analyze the organ/apparatus within the region in which it is located,
• analyse simple anatomy-oriented clinical cases;
• identify the anatomical bases that led to the pathology described in the examples of clinical cases mentioned during the course.
The study of Anatomy will allow to build solid theoretical and methodological bases that will allow students in Medicine and Surgery to:
• have capacity and autonomy in the implementation of organ/pathology and pathology/patient models; operate correctly in the clinical context.
The course includes 100 hours of training activities divided into 80 hours of lectures, 20 hours of practical exercises of microscopic anatomy in the laboratory
Attendance of lessons and exercises is mandatory.

The course also includes lectures on Microscopic Anatomy, also ultrastructural, and histo-physiology of organs, with observation and recognition of microscopic preparations.
Finally, the course includes lessons that allow to correlate radiological, topographical and clinical anatomy.

SYSTEMATIC ANATOMY
The learning assessment will be carried out by means of steps examination:
• Recognition of preparations of structural anatomy under the microscope, which will be a necessary requirement for the continuation of the examination. To be able to access the oral exam the student must identify at least two of the three preparations anatomo-microscopic that will be proposed to him;
Oral examination: the questions will be prepared in order to verify the anatomical knowledge acquired by the student from a systematic and topographical point of view, also with the use of anatomical models.
