The course of Human Anatomy is part of a group of morpho-functional courses preceding the clinical courses and aims to consolidate a basic knowledge of the main organs and apparati of the human body. This knowledge will enable the student to a correct approach to the subsequent clinical formation.

Morphology, macroscopic architecture and classification of bones. Arthrology: Classification of joints, articular mechanics.
Head and neck: Skull and relative joints; column, ribcage and relative joints; upper and lower extremities and relative joints.
Myology: Muscles of head; neck; trunk; abdomen; pelvis; extremities.

General information on macroscopic bone architecture, external morphology, classification.
Head and neck:
Neurocranium: bones of the cranial base (frontal, sphenoid, temporal, occipital); cranial theca bones (parietal)
Splancnocranio: ethmoid, maxillary, palatine, vomer, zygomatic, lacrimal, nasal, mandibular.
Temporomandibular, occipito-atlantoid, atlanto-epistrofica, dental swelling joints.
Mimic muscles (general), chewing, above and belowjoides.
Trunk:
Axile skeleton: vertebral column, rib cage, bone basin.
Intervertebral, cost-vertebral, cost-sternal, sacroiliac, pubic symphysis joints.
Back muscles (spino-spinal, sino-costal and spino-appendicular). Muscles of the abdomen (anterolateral and posterior). Rib cage muscles, diaphragm. Hip muscles. Pelvic floor.
Upper limb:
Skeleton: shoulder girdle, humerus, ulna, radius, carpus, metacarpals, phalanges.
Sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, glenohumeral, elbow, radio-carpic, carpus-metacarpal, metacarpophalangeal, interphalangeal joints.
Muscles of the shoulder, arm, forearm, hand.
Lower limb:
Skeleton: femur, tibia, fibula, tarsus, metatarsal, phalanges.
Coxo-femoral joints, knee, proximal and distal tibio-fibular, tibio-tarsal, talus-calcaneal, tarsal-metatarsal, metatarsophalangeal, interphalangeal.
Gluteal, thigh, leg and foot muscles.
