Application of the use of technique and correct preparation of material (10%). 4. 3D anatomical model printed individually and/or in groups (5%). 5. Work with study materials and literature (10%). The final assessment of the course consists of tests (30%): 1. theoretical test (I) at the end of the 1st semester; semester test (i) at the end of the 2nd semester.
Final Examination (Full-Time):Test (Semester)
Final Examination (Part-Time):
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:Students will be able to: 1) estimate the role of the human body in the classification system of organisms, the principles of composition; 2) describe the organ systems of the human body, their topography, functions, relationships; 3) define basic anatomical concepts and terminology in Latin; 4) demonstrate understanding of the main concepts and regularities; 5) get a basic understanding of 3D modelling, printing and related technologies.
Skills:Students will be able to: 1) 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 and terminology in Latin; 2) obtain, assess, classify and compare the information from different sources of information; 3) ask specific questions, to look for answers related to anatomical issues and to express their point of view; 4) work independently or in a team; 5) enter into a dialogue and participate in discussions; 6) use dissection equipment and apply appropriate techniques; 7) prepare material for dissection; 8) identify the dissected anatomic structures; 9) distinguish the location of the classic structures from norm variants; 10) interpret and explain the results, define conclusions and present the results (written, oral); 11) prepare 3D model for printing and will print an object.
Competencies:The students will 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; will increase their competitiveness in the 3D-related labor market.
