Objectives

In accordance with the Dublin descriptors, the educational objectives of the course are intended to provide students with the acquisition of basic histological and anatomical knowledge to understand the general organization of the human body in healthy conditions with particular attention to the systems involved in motor activities. ; the acquisition of knowledge of the mechanisms that allow the apparatuses to perform their specific functions within the human organism; the identification of the components of the various systems and the definition of their physical and functional relationships; the acquisition of knowledge of the main age-related skeletal changes (child, adult, elderly) [knowledge and understanding]. The achievement of the general objective allows the student to make full use of the subsequent courses that require morphological knowledge and provides the graduate with a cultural substrate useful for practicing the profession, for interacting with other professionals and for exploiting the applicative aspects of the discipline in the fields of education, rehabilitation, sports and free time [applied knowledge and understanding]. At the end of the course, the student will have solid morphological knowledge useful to face the disciplines of the following years and to create a cultural substrate for the correct exercise of the profession. The development of independent judgment and analysis will be supported thanks to the discussion in the classroom of practical examples. Therefore, the expected learning outcomes foresee that at the end of the course the student will have to possess the fundamental concepts to discuss the correlations between the structures of the human body and their functions, will be able to apply anatomical knowledge and understand the technical aspects, didactic and biomedical of movement. In addition, he will have acquired interpersonal and expressive skills with regard to basic anatomical terminology and the skills necessary for achieving the objectives and for orientation towards the career opportunities provided by the degree course [communication skills].

Contents

The course will define the appropriate reference terminology and will consider from a morphological and functional point of view the embryological derivation, the microscopic structure and the functional correlations of human tissues (histology module) and the main organs and systems of the human body (module of Human anatomy) involved in movement and sports. Particular attention will be paid to the functional anatomy of the locomotive, cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous system, also in relation to age (children, adults, elderly).

Methods of Provision

Conventional

Teaching Methods

Frontal lessons carried out with the aid of electronic devices and a multimedia classroom equipped with a virtual dissection table.
In the event of health emergency, the lessons will be held on a digital platform indicated by the University (Team or similar).

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The exam is aimed at ascertaining that the student knows and knows how to describe the structural organization of the human body and the structure-function relationships, with particular reference to the apparatuses involved in the motor activities.
Histology module: written test
Module of anatomy: 3 partial tests in itinere (optional) written multiple-answer in itinere each with 15 multiple choice quizzes (4 possible answers with only one correct) whose vote is expressed in thirtieths and final oral interview in the appeal exam. Regarding the evaluation of the quiz, the following rule is applied: 2 point for each correct answer; 0 points for incorrect answers or not given. For students who do not reach sufficiency (18/30) in all the partial tests or for students who do not want to take the partial tests, the final exam only includes the oral examination during the exam session. The final mark will be expressed in thirtieths
The examination procedures are identical for students attending and not attending.

The final grade mark of the integrated course will be the weighted average based on the CFU between the result of the two modules (Histology and Anatomy).

Erasmus and/or foreign students can take the exam in English or Spanish

In the event that you are in a health emergency, the examination will take place according to the methods and platform indicated by the University (Teams or similar).
