Morpho-Functional Sciences

Module human anatomy

Expected learning outcomes (in line with Dublin criteria)

1. Knowledge and understanding

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

• Understand and describe the macroscopic and microscopic morphology of the main systems of the human body (e.g. skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, genitourinary).
• Understand basic anatomical terminology and know how to use it correctly in biomedical contexts.
• Interpret the structural relationships between tissues, organs, and systems and their role in organismal homeostasis.

2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding

The student must be able to:

• Apply anatomical concepts in the detection and interpretation of laboratory images (e.g. histological preparations, anatomical projections, 3D models, CT/MRI).
• Connect anatomical knowledge to technical-laboratory procedures and the professional practice of the biomedical laboratory technician.
• Transfer anatomical information to other biomedical contexts by integrating it with physiological and pathological aspects.

3. Autonomy of judgment

The student develops the ability to:

• Critically evaluate anatomical information from manuals, atlases, digital models, and scientific articles.
• Choose appropriate tools and strategies for the study and analysis of complex anatomical structures.
• Reflect on the limitations and potential of anatomical visualization techniques in the diagnostic-clinical field.

4. Communication skills

The student will be able to:

• Communicate clearly, correctly, and in specialized language the results observed in practical tests and reports.
• Draft short written papers (laboratory reports, interpretative schemes) with appropriate use of anatomical terms.

• Effectively use digital tools for presenting anatomical content (slides, images, diagrams).

5. Learning ability

The student must demonstrate that:

• Be autonomous in organizing the study of anatomical structures and updating on teaching materials and online resources.
• Continuously integrate anatomical concepts with other disciplines in the curriculum (physiology, biochemistry, histology).
• Evaluate your preparedness and identify areas for improvement.

 

The Anatomy course requires that the basics of Histology have first been assimilated.
