AIMS AND CONTENT
AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES
The teaching of Human Anatomy of the Locomotor Apparatus aims to bring students to the knowledge of the anatomical and functional organization of structures that allow the movement of the human body. An understanding of the topics covered in the classroom should allow the student to go deeper into specific topics in complete autonomy.
Teaching methods
The teaching activity is organised in lectures. During these lectures all the issues the student has to know for the final exam will be explained and discussed with the help of visual aids.
