Study course description
Preliminary Knowledge:
Biology, physics, chemistry, human anatomy within the secondary school programme.
Objective:
Course objective: to promote knowledge acquisition of the structure of the human body, topography and functions of the organs, anatomical structures (organs, blood vessels, nerves) topography, their external and internal landmarks, regulatory mechanisms of the organism and provide skills to use this knowledge for solving medical problems in the framework of the speciality.

Assessment
Unaided Work:
Individual preparing of the readings, papers, reports, exercises etc. to be presented or submitted in theoretical lectures and practical classes; work with literature, anatomy web resources, etc.; to be able to study regularly, independently and critically according the curriculum and program of the study course; qualitatively fulfil tasks that are scheduled in the study course and timely submit the results for evaluation.
Assessment Criteria:
To successfully acquire the study course material and prepare for the final examination of the study course, the student performs the following activities (compulsory, not assessed with a grade): 1. Participation in lectures and practical classes (20%). For each missed practical lab – a report or presentation must be prepared. 2. Work with study materials and literature (10%). 3. Oral presentation of independent work (20%). 4. Evaluation of students' knowledge and skills in the oral exam (50%). Exam grade is applied only for students who have passed all the requirements and tests of the course. Exam grade is cumulative.
Final Examination (Full-Time):Exam (Oral)
Final Examination (Part-Time):
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:Students will be able to: estimate the role of the human body in the classification system of organisms, the principles of composition; describe the internal organs systems, organs, blood vessels, nerve location, areas (places) in relation to the skeleton (bones) and surrounding organs; their external and internal projection on the human body, relationships; name mean functions of organs and organ systems; insight of functioning of the person as a social being; be in charge of the international functioning classification and its CoreSets’; have an understanding on functioning changes that depend on the statement of health; insight of biomedicine and bio-psycho-social approach in medicine; be in charge of the ISO technical aids and its use for human functional impairment compensation.
Skills:Students will be able to: explain and show the skeleton bones and their structures, joints, muscles, main blood vessels and nerves, internal organs, their parts, sensory organs on study aids, using appropriate anatomical concepts; find and show the organs, blood vessels, nerves, their projection on the human external surface of the body and in different anatomical slices; they will be able to find and demonstrate functions of the blood vessels, nerves and to apply the knowledge of slices anatomy in the clinic; obtain, assess, classify and compare the information from different sources of information; ask specific questions, to look for answers related to anatomical issues and to express their point of view; work independently or in a team; enter into a dialogue and participate in discussions; identify the anatomic structures; distinguish the location of the classic structures from norm variants; interpret and explain the results, define conclusions and present the results (written, oral); asses the most important characterizing parameters of the functioning, using the functioning assessment tools employed in clinic; recognize the functioning restrictions; manage the most important assisstive technology used for human functional impairment compensation.
Competencies:Students will able to: know, identify and describe different anatomical structures of the human body relative to systems, location and planes of the body; demonstrate an understanding of the basic anatomical terminology and primary functions of the major systems of the human body; to integrate individual knowledge and skills in a global view of the whole human body; to understand opportunities and principles of functional diagnostic; to be able to use anatomy knowledge to assess the ability of human functioning and the restriction assessment, manage the most important assisstive technology indications / contrindications and the use of it for functional impairment compensation.
