Human Anatomy and Experimental Models in Biomedicine

The course is intended to offer the theoretical background for understanding the anatomy of systems and organs and their relationship in humans. Multiple approaches will be employed from macroscopic and microscopic analysis to imaging. In order to get an insight into the up-to-date research in biomedicine, clinical notes and selected focus on the main anatomical analogies and differences between humans and the most used experimental models will be discussed with the students.

At the end of the course, the student will acquire the full knowledge of the human body and will be able to describe the macroscopic and microscopic structure of each apparatus, system and organ. Students will be able to identify the main anatomical features of experimental animals that are used for modeling human diseases.
