Assessment
Unaided Work:
Work with study materials, specialised literature, online resources, assessing the interrelationship between organs and organ systems. Independent work (diagram/presentation) on the bones, joints, muscles involved in movement of individual parts of the body, major circulatory vessels, parts of the lymphatic system, upper and lower respiratory tracts, blood supply and innervation of digestive organs, cranial and spinal nerves, parts of the autonomic nervous system and sensory organs
Assessment Criteria:
Attendance of lectures, mandatory attendance of seminars, practical classes. Student ability to describe anatomical structures, interrelationships and functionality is assessed. Successful completion of course examination, successful assessment in the final examination – 50%; Assessment of independent work – 50%
Final Examination (Full-Time):		Exam (Written)
Final Examination (Part-Time):
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:		As a result of completing the study course, students are able to do the following: • name the tissues, organs and systems of the human body; • describe the structure thereof; • illustrate the location and describe the functions, blood supply and innervation; • name some anatomical terms in Latin.
Skills:		As a result of completing the study course, students will recognise and be able to do the following: • identify skeletal bones, joints; • locate, classify muscles, organs, blood vessels and nerves and other anatomical structures on the visual aids presented in anatomy studies; • able to work with special literature.
Competencies:		As a result of completing the study course, students are able to do the following: • skilfully demonstrate various anatomical structures in visual aids; • describe anatomical structures, their interrelationships and functionality.
