Prerequisites:

For a correct and easier acquisition of the topics that will be deal with during the course it would be desirable for the student to understand the basic notions of Physics (osmosis, oncotic pressure, etc.), Chemistry and Biochemical Propedeutics (concept of ion, molecule, enzyme, etc.) and Biology (nucleic acids, protides, lipids, glucides, cell and cellular organelles).

Objectives

At the end of the course the student will have to:
1) acquired an appropriate scientific terminology and a three-dimensional representation of the human body both in its surface characteristics and in its internal organization;
2) know the structure, function and regenerative potential of body tissues;
3) be able to evaluate the relationships between organs, viscera and connective devices in each territory, also by the knowledge of the embryological development modalities;
4) define the degree of articulation necessary for the functionality and know the degrees of movement necessary for the realization of daily activities.

Contents

The course consists of the following modules:
1) HUMAN ANATOMY (3 CFU) that, with a systematic approach, will address the study of the single apparatuses and systems in which the human body can be divided and therefore of the organs and viscera that constitute those systems and apparatuses. At the same time, students will be provided with the basic notions for a topographic study, taking into consideration the large regions of the body in order to better evaluate the relationships between organs, viscera and connective devices in each territory. Organs and viscera will be considered in their macroscopic and microscopic structural features as they appear after dissection of the cadaver, after radiological examination and after observation of sections processed for optical microscopy. The acquisitions will be finally integrated with elements of functional anatomy and clinical anatomy to avoid a too sectorial view of the subject.
2) HISTOLOGY (2 CFU) and EMBRIOLOGY (1 CFU) that will take into consideration the structural, ultrastructural characteristics and the regenerative potential of human cells and tissues (ISTOLOGY), as well as the mechanisms of cell differentiation and body development (EMBRIOLOGY) .
3) CHINESIOLOGY (1 CFU) which will consider the principles and methodology of evaluation of joint excursion, flexibility and muscle strength, important tools in the practice of physiotherapist, constituting significant elements in the clinical evaluation of a patient with musculoskeletal problems.

EMBRYOLOGY
Fecondation: modifications of the gametes; histophysiology of fecondation; zygote and cell differentiation.
First week of development: segmentation; morula; blastocyst; embryoblast and trophoblast.
2nd week of development: implantation; bilaminar disk; evolution of the trophoblast.
3rd week of development: notochord; formation of the three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm); definition of body shape and body axis.
4th week of development: development and derivatives of the ectoderm (neural tube and encephalic vesicles, stomodeum); development and derivatives of the mesoderm (paraxial, intermediate and lateral mesoderm, somites, mesenchyme); development and derivatives of the endoderm (primitive intestine, anterior gut and pharyngeal intestine: furrows, arches and gill pouches).
