B016801 - HUMAN MORPHOLOGY II

Italian

The course requires the basic knowledge of macroscopic morphology, relations, and rudiments of microscopic organization concerning the organs of the systems: locomotor, tegumentary, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urinary, male and female genital, endocrine, central and peripheral nervous.

The student will accomplish the following competencies upon successful completion of the course in Human Morphology II:
1. The student will develop a functional knowledge of the basic nomenclature and conventions used to study human anatomy, review the fundamentals of cell biology and selected tissues of the body.
2. The student will be able to display knowledge of the relative positions and functions of the major body organs as well as their general anatomical locations for the body systems covered in Human Anatomy.
8. The student will be able to identify the anatomy of all the topics mentioned in the program.

....

Lectures with extensive use of images, such as to facilitate the acquisition of fundamental anatomical basis through the stimulation of visual memory.

.....

The final exam consists of an oral interview lasting about 20-30 minutes divided into two/three main questions aimed mainly at evaluating the student's knowledge about the macroscopic anatomy of the various organs as well as the microscopic anatomy necessary for understanding the functions and pathological changes affecting them. The assessment will also take into account the ability to discursively organize knowledge, the quality of the exposure and the competence in the use of anatomical terminology. There are 2 optional INTERMEDIATE CHECKS: the first time to verify the knowledge of general anatomy and the musculoskeletal system, at the end of the lessons on these topics (about one month after the start of the course, dates to be agreed with the students) and the second time to evaluate the knowledge of the circulatory, blood and lymphatic and respiratory systems at the end of the lessons on these topics (dates to be agreed with the students). These tests consist of a Moodle Quiz of 30 multiple choice questions with a maximum time available of 25 minutes. The vote will be expressed in terms of suitable / unsuitable (with an eligibility threshold of 23 correct answers). The on-going tests can be taken only once and are not mandatory, but if passed, they will be taken into account in the final assessment (each test will weigh 1/5 of the exam). If the ongoing tests are passed, the student in the oral exam will be examined on the part of the program not covered by the intermediate tests and the test will be divided into one / two questions (on splanchnology / nervous system). If one of the two tests is not passed, the topics covered by the mid-term test will also be subject to the oral interview.
The passed tests remain valid until the exam scheduled in the week of didactic silence of the second semester of the following calendar year.
There are 3/4 exam sessions (oral final exam) in the summer-autumn session (June-July-September) and 2 in the winter session (January-February). There will also be exams during the weeks of didactic silence (if any) or during the Christmas and Easter holidays. In case of failure, students can enroll in the next useful exam session.
The exam dates are available on the Degree Course website and on the web page set up for online registration.
