ANATOMY OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM – ANATOMY I

Teaching her lesson "Anatomy» consists of lectures, tutorials and laboratory exercises. Attendance at tutorials and exercises is mandatory.

The elections develop the material described above.

The tutorials (in 3 groups of students, 1 teacher per group) recapitulate and deepen the material using examples of clinical cases (problem-based learning) that highlight the application of anatomical knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of serious diseases. In each tutorial, the students prepare the answers to the questions related to the examined clinical cases so that they can discuss them with the teachers.

The laboratory exercises (in 3 groups of students, 1 teacher per group of 12 students) constitute the practical exercise of the students, are a necessary supplement to the lectures and aim to familiarize them with the use of techniques, the operation of instruments and the conduct of tests that are often used in anatomy, as and help to understand concepts that are not easily grasped theoretically (learning based on practical experience).

Information and Communication Technologies are used to prepare lecture materials and provide online information and learning aids to students.

Specifically:

• Common software (eg powerpoint) is used to prepare lecture material and display slides and videos.
• The study guide (explanatory material & additional bibliography), the tutorial material (clinical cases for processing), the theory and protocols of the laboratory exercises, the handover slides after each lesson as well as videos and scientific articles related to the taught material are made electronically and online available to students through the e-class.
• Information about the course, the lecturers and their research interests and the Anatomy Laboratory in general is available online on the Laboratory website. Common software (eg excel) is used for the statistical processing of the student evaluation
• Announcements, information, etc. are available online through e-class. Communication is also done via e-mail.

Evaluation methods.

A. In the laboratory exercises: Laboratory Work, Report, Written Exams with short answer and problem solving questions.

The students' participation in the exercises as well the written report of the results of the exercises, which is done by the students during the workshops, is mandatory. The report includes the measurements (presented in tables and plots), and the conclusions (eg whether the expected results were obtained, if not why not, sources of possible errors in the experiments) as requested by each exercise. At the end of each exercise, the written report is checked by the teachers and signed if it has been filled in correctly. In the event that particularly demanding calculations or diagrams need to be made, it is possible for the report to be completed after the end of the workshop and delivered to the lecturers at a later predetermined date. Successful participation in the exercise is certified by the teacher's signature on the written report of the results.

At the end of the semester, students are examined in writing on the content of the Workshops. On Laboratory exams material to be examined is the theory, the methodology and the methods of processing results included in the Laboratory Exercises Guide or developed by the lecturers during the laboratories. Only those who successfully participated in the laboratory exercises have the right to participate in the Laboratory exams. Passing the laboratory exams is a necessary condition for participation in the course exams.

B. In the tutorials:  Public Presentation, Oral Examination

In each tutorial, the students prepare the answers to the questions related to the examined clinical cases so that they can present them and discuss them with the lecturers. The material of the tutorials is examined in writing together with the material of the lectures.

C. In theory – lecture material: Written Exams with multiple choice questions.

The course exams are written, lasting 2 hours, and consist of topics critical or short answer questions related to clinical cases similar to those discussed in the tutorials. Examinable material is the material of lectures and tutorials as described above. Only those students who have passed the Laboratory exams have the right to participate in the course exams.

Final grade

The final grade of the course is calculated by …….. from the grade of the written exams of the course and by …… from the grade of the written exams of the Laboratory.

All of the above can be accessed by the students as they are contained in the Course Guide which is distributed in print to all students and is posted electronically in the e-class.

The course material aims at understanding the normal and pathological functioning of the human body at the undergraduate level and at introducing students to the principles and techniques of Anatomy. It also refers to applications of knowledge of anatomy in clinical practice, that is, the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

The course is the basis on which the student will rely to support the knowledge provided in the courses of longer semesters and specifically in the courses of the second cycle - clinical.

Finally, the aim of the course is for the students to understand the importance of the correct execution and assessment of laboratory analyzes and the corresponding required skills for both Laboratory Medicine specialties and for the clinical specialties of Medicine.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Has an understanding of the basic structures and functions of the human body.

General Skills

• Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information, using the necessary technologies
• Work in an international environment
• Work in an interdisciplinary environment
• Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information in the study and identification of anatomical structures of the musculoskeletal system in cadaveric preparations in plastic models and in 3D models of virtual reality
