Human anatomy and physiology
(objectives)
HUMAN ANATOMY At the end of the course the student must be able to: Describe the macroscopic organization of the human body using the appropriate terminology appropriately. Describe the main cavities of the body, describe the individual organs of the various apparatuses and systems from the macroscopic, microscopic and topographic point of view.
PHYSIOLOGY The course is aimed at giving the student a sound understanding of the functions of the various organs and systems of the human body and the mechanisms underlying these functions. The course also aims to provide knowledge on the functional integration of the various systems and on their regulation in physiological conditions also for the purpose of maintaining homeostasis.
HYSTOLOGY The course aims to provide student 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 physiotheraphy 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.
