Basic knowledge of biology, chemistry, histology and anatomy.
The examination consists of 15 multiple-choice questions, to be completed within 24 minutes. No points will be deducted for incorrect answers and the minimum passing score is 18 out of 31.
The expected learning outcomes for this course include a strong foundation in the basic principles of human anatomy, an understanding of the structural and functional organization of the body's systems and organs, and some knowledge of functional and clinical anatomy.
• Body scheme and parts. The anatomical position. Reference planes and axis. Nomina anatomica. • Locomotor system: the bones, gross anatomy and taxonomy.
