Anatomy (1st year)

The course aims to provide students with: i) knowledge of the organization and structure of the human body and of the apparatuses, systems and organs that constitute it, according to a systematic and topographical orientation; ii) the understanding of the mechanisms by which this organization is achieved through organogenesis, using macroscopic, microscopic and molecular methods.

Students: i) are able to integrate the knowledge of anatomical and topographic systematics in relation to medical practice; ii) are able to recognize from histological preparations the cellular and tissue structures that constitute the corresponding organ.
