Elements of Anatomy and Physiology

TOPICS OF GENERAL ANATOMY
CONSTRUCTIVE PRINCIPLES OF THE HUMAN BODY
- Body scheme

- General information on body spaces: connective, serous, neural
- Definition of tissue, organ, system, apparatus
- Hollow and parenchymatous organs
LOCOMOTOR APPARATUS
- General information on bones, joints, muscles
- Axial and appendicular skeleton
- Joints of the human body
- General information on head, trunk and limb muscles
NERVOUS SYSTEM
- Central nervous system:
- spinal cord
- encephalon: brainstem, cerebellum, diencephalon, telencephalon
- meninges and cerebrospinal fluid
- main routes and connections
- Peripheral nervous system:
- cranial nerves, spinal nerves and plexuses: generality and innervation territory
- sympathetic nervous system: general organization
- parasympathetic nervous system: general organization
- Specific sensitivity apparatus: general organization
ENDOCRINE APPARATUS
- Pituitary gland
- Epiphysis
- Thyroid and parathyroid glands
- Adrenal gland
CIRCULATORY APPARATUS
- Organization of the cardiovascular apparatus
- Heart
- Main arterial vessels and their distribution area
- Main venous vessels and their drainage area
- Blood
LYMPHATIC CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
- General information on the lymphatic circulatory system
- Thyme
- Lymph nodes
- Spleen
- Tonsils

- Lungs and pleurae
URINARY SYSTEM
- Kidneys
- Urinary tract: ureters, bladder, urethra
MALE GENITAL APPARATUS
- Testicles
- Spermatic ways: epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct
- Glands attached to the spermatic tract: seminal vesicles, bulbous-urethral glands, prostate
FEMALE GENITAL APPARATUS
- Ovaries
- Genital tract: uterus, fallopian tubes

1. Knowing the essential morphological characteristics of cells and subcellular structures, tissues, organs, apparatus and systems of the human body, as well as their main morpho-functional correlates;
2. Knowing the structural organization of the human body, from the macroscopic level to the microscopic level, and the mechanisms through which this organization is realized in the course of embryologic development and differentiation;
3. Knowing the functioning of the different organs of the human body, their dynamic integration in apparatuses and the general control mechanisms in physiological conditions.
