Human anatomy and physiology
(objectives)
At the end of the Integrated Course of Anatomy and Physiology the student must be able to know the anatomical terms for the microscopic and macroscopic recognition of the human body and you/he/she must be able to explain the physiological phenomena of the various organs of the human body, their dynamics integration in the apparatuses, the mechanisms of control of their functions and the contribution I fed necessary under conditions of normalcy.

Module: HUMAN ANATOMY
(objectives)
The aim of the corse of human anatomy is to guide student into the study of the human body and of the critical steps of embryonal development, with special attention to the morpho-functional correlations. These are necessary pre-requisites for the understanding of physiology, patho-physiology and of the interaction of chemical compounds with tissues and organs, necessary knowledge equipment for a physician. To this end, special attention will be given to the study of the microscopic anatomy of tissues and organs and to the study of neuroanatomy. On the other end the essential elements of gross and topographic anatomy of toraco-abdominal organs will be given.

Module: HISTOLOGY
(objectives)
The course aims to provide students with the skills necessary for the full understanding of the most important tissues of the human organism. The student must be able to acquire a correct terminology and develop skills of interpretation and application that, the graduate in Physiotherapy, will have to use in the planning and management of work activities.

Module: PHYSIOLOGY
(objectives)
The aim of the teaching is, starting from the knowledge of the basic concepts and the normal quantitative parameters of the bodily functions and their variations in the different conditions of dynamic engagement, to develop in the student the ability to understand the principles of the functioning of the human body. The cellular mechanisms and the integrated functions of the main organs and apparatuses aimed at the maintenance of body homeostasis will also be analyzed in the context of environmental modifications.
