To know the structural organization of the human body, with its main anatomical-clinical applications, from the macroscopic to the microscopic level up to the main ultrastructural and functional aspects. Recognize the essential morphological characteristics of the systems, systems, organs, tissues, cells and subcellular structures of the human organism at the basis of vital functions.

Anatomy
Historical background and role in medical studies
Structure of the somatic cell. Supracellular organization in tissues: epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous tissue, blood and lymph (hints of immunity)
Cell differentiation. Gametes Fertilization Notes on embryology and organogenesis
Body diagram and superficial delimitation of the parts of the body; anatomical position; fundamental lines and planes of body reference; anatomical nomenclature.
Morphological and structural basis of vital functions
Circulatory system The heart. Organization of the vascular network Functional circles (digestive, respiratory, urinary apparatus). Control systems (endocrine system).
Neuroanatomy macroscopic organization of the central nervous system, somatic and visceral peripheral nervous system Sense organs

General: anatomical terminology and meaning: standard anatomical position, anatomy regions, planes and areas.
Cardiovascular system: Structure of the heart. Structure of the blood vessels. Arterial and venous system. Circulation: systemic, pulmonary, coronary.
Respiratory system: a brief overview of the upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract. Pulmonary pleurae and lungs.
Digestive system: oral cavity, alimentary tract and annexed glands (salivary glands, liver and pancreas).
Urinary system: Structure of organs of urinary system: kidney, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra.
Central nervous system: structure of brain, spinal cord, meninges. Somatosensory system. Motor system.
Peripheral nervous system: cranial nerves and spinal nerves: quick references.
Autonomic nervous system: organization of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
