About Study Course
Objective
Gain comprehensive knowledge of human body structure, organ topography and functions. To form an understanding of the interrelationships of organ systems, of the general and functional histology of man; microscopic structure of cells, tissues and organs, especially speech and hearing structures; to create an idea of risk factors and various developmental disorders that affect the development of these structures in embryogenesis.
Preliminary Knowledge
All biology subjects ar Secondary school level; Cytology, which is advisable to be studied simultaneously with biochemistry, anatomy and physiology.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.As a result of mastering the study course the student will know and be able to describe the organ systems of the human body, will be able to describe their structure, location, will be able to explain the main regularities of functions, explain organ bleeding, lymphatic drainage and innervation; will be able to name part of the anatomy term in Latin; will recognize and be able to describe the main tissue group and organ structure features; will be able to name and explain the developmental stages of the face, mouth and sensory organs and the most common anomalies.
Skills
1.The student will recognize and be able to show skeletal bones, joints, muscle groups, organs, blood vessels and nerves, and other anatomical structures on the teaching aids used in anatomy studies; will be able to work with histological preparations; identify and describe under light microscopy the main structures of tissues and essential organs; will analyze and interpret special literature.
Competences
1.The student will be able to independently formulate and critically analyze complex problems, justify decisions, and, if necessary, perform additional analysis; will be able to select, analyze the necessary information and use it in the relevant profession; will be able to work with colleagues.
