Human anatomy I
(objectives)
The aim of the course is to provide the student with the knowledge of the essential characteristics, from a cellular and functional point of view (macroscopic and microscopic anatomy) of essential elements of the human body. The locomotor, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, the oral cavity and the nasal cavity will be taught. The student will learn information about the anatomy of each system aimed at examining the patient, understanding the clinical symptoms and their evolution during a pathological event. These objectives will be achieved through lectures, practical exercises through the use of anatomical models and interactive software designed to facilitate the understanding and learning of the three-dimensionality of the anatomical structures being studied. LEARNING OUTCOMES Knowledge and understanding At the end of this teaching the student will be able: • To know the anatomical terminology (sections, localization and movement terms). • To describe the major topographical and functional subdivisions of the human body and superficial anatomy. • To know the joints, their dynamics and the features of the several joints present in the locomotor system (skull, vertebrae, thorax, lower limb and upper limb). • To know the morphology of the various bones and muscles that make up the human skeleton and their connections. • To know the lymphatic and vascular system. • To know the oral cavity and the structures associated (teeth, tongue, mouth and face muscles, salivary glands). • To know the nasal cavity. • To know pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs, pleura and mediastinum.
Applying knowledge and understanding At the end of the course the student will be able: • To know the anatomy of the various structures of the human body. • To know the interactions between the several structures. • To use the knowledge gained to understand the clinical symptoms and their evolution during a pathological event.
Communication skills At the end of the course the student must be able: • To use the specific anatomical terminology properly.
Making judgments At the end of the course the student must be able: • to make general assessments of the topics covered.
