Structure of the Body is a first-year course designed to provide students with a fundamental working knowledge of normal human gross and systemic Anatomy. Anatomy teaching involves the structural survey of the human body, including skeletomuscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and genitourinary systems.
Anatomy is divided into two blocks. The first block (Anatomy A, from January to February) focuses on the skeletal-muscular structures of the different regions of the body. The material of the first block covers: 1) Introduction; 2) Back and Thorax; 3) Abdomen and Upper Limb; 4) Pelvis and Lower Limb; 5) Head and Neck, 6) and revision. The second block (Anatomy B, from March to June) focuses on organ systems: Thorax; Cardiovascular and Respiratory systems; Abdomen and Pelvis; Digestive, Urinary, and Reproductive Systems, Neuroanatomy; and finally, some revision lectures.
Prestigious experts (visiting professors) will hold educational seminars on basic and clinical research topics in both first and second block.
Anatomy labs ARE STRICTLY RECOMMENDED.
