About Study Course
Objective
To provide an opportunity to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the structure of the human body and in-depth knowledge of the head, neck and thoracic cavity areas necessary for further studies in the chosen program.
Preliminary Knowledge
All areas of biology within the secondary school programme; it is advisable to acquire the course at the same time as histology.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Students will be able to enumerate human body organ systems, to describe the constitution, topography and functions of the organ systems; they will be able to tell about the main traits and regularities of the blood supply, venous drainage and innervation; the students will identify the main regularities of the functions of the organ systems and will be able to name anatomical terms in Latin.
Skills
1.The students will be able to recognise and to show the organs and other anatomical structures on study aids and natural preparations; to analyse, assess and compare the obtained information, to explain simple clinical tasks and to work with professional literature.
Competences
1.Students will know, identify and describe different anatomical structures of the human body, organs of the head, neck and thoracic regions; will demonstrate an understanding of the anatomical terminology, functions of the systems of the human body and organs of the head, neck and thoracic regions. The obtained information will allow students to analyze and evaluate simple clinical situations. Students will be able to work with special literature for an in-depth study of the specialty.
