Learning objectives
1st LEARNING ENPOINT: the student is expected to know the human body structure in its macro- and microscopic aspects, in a clinical perspective, with a special focus on head and neck anatomy.
2nd LEARNING ENPOINT; the student is expected to be able to describe shape, position, relationship, structure vascularization and innervation of the different organs of the human body. The student is supposed to be able to identify individual morphological diversities providing a methodological approach preparatory to the clinical reasoning
3rd LEARNING ENPOINT: the student is expected to be able to develop an anatomical-based thinking and to possess autonomous judgement on the correlation between structure and function.
4th LEARNING ENPOINT: the student is expected to master an anatomical language.

Teaching methods
The teaching activities will be conducted mainly through interactive class lectures with the aid of iconographic material collected in PowerPoint files. The teacher will also make use of anatomical models, atlases, and when available, the interactive virtual sectorial anatomy laboratory. The slides used to support the lessons will be uploaded on a weekly basis to the Elly platform. To download the slides you will need to be enrolled in the course of study: 5027 - DENTISTRY AND DENTAL PROSTHESIS. The teacher will make available, upon agreement with the students, the anatomical room with the models for individual study.
Assessment methods and criteria
The achievement of the above-described learning objective will be verified by written text (section on Locomotor apparatus) an oral exam (all the other sections). See specific sections for details. The result will be announced immediately after.
Students with DSA/BSE must contact the University's Reception and Inclusion Centre (CAI) in advance and follow the CAI's instructions for any requests for personalised examinations (https://www.cai.unipr.it/ ).
