Assessment
Unaided Work:
Anatomic terms for accurate description of the body. Muscles: to describe the main musculoskeletal groups, their location, function, strength and endurance exercises developing muscles. To prepare for test works on topics: 1. Osteosyndesmology of torso. 2. Osteosyndesmology of upper limb. 3. Osteosyndesmology of lower limb. 4. Myology of torso. 5. Myology of upper limb. 6. Myology of lower limb. 7. Cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and genital systems. 8. Nervous system and sensory organs. To prepare for the oral examination.
Assessment Criteria:
Knowledge and competences of students are assessed in 8 test works in a 10-point grading system and in the examination in a 10-point grading system. Students must pass 8 test works. Skills: During classes is able to show on models, anatomical preparations and posters on the topics learned during previous classes. Competence: Students pass test works on the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system by analysing muscle function in different movements in certain joints (osteology, syndesmology, myology, sports myology). Examination assessment criteria: The knowledge, skills and competences of students are examined during an examination (formative assessment). In the examination, each student answers three question papers – three questions (movement analysis, osteosyndesmology and myology), which the student picks from covered sheets when entering the examination room. The student is given time to prepare to respond. The examination response takes place orally, demonstrating the anatomical formations on visual aids (bones, models, posters). The final assessment is provided taking into account the summative assessment during the semester in test works (50%) and the formative assessment in the final examination (50%). Summative assessment of knowledge and competences in test works. All written test works must be passed. In addition to this assessment, students’ knowledge and competences are regularly tested on the content learned in the previous lesson. The student is given the opportunity to improve the previously obtained assessment once, even if it he/she passed. Failing grades (below 4) must be improved. During classes, students are randomly asked to show anatomical formations on models, anatomical preparations and posters. An oral examination must be taken at the end of the anatomy study course. Only students who have received successful assessments in the examinations (not less than 4 in each examination) are admitted to the examination. The students who have not passed any of the examinations, or who have failed in the examination, get a failing grade (less than 4).

Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:1. Skeleton, limb bones. Muscles, their structure. 2. Structure and functioning principles of cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, excretory, endocrine, reproductive systems. 3. Structure and role of each part of the central nervous system in motion regulation. 4. Sensory organs. 5. Structural changes in the body that develop under the influence of regular physical activity.
Skills:6. To demonstrate muscles, bones, parts of the brain and other body systems on models, anatomical preparations and posters.
Competencies:7. To analyse muscle function in different movements – which muscles work in which joints in different physical activity movements. 8. Engages in physical activity and health promotion with knowledge of human anatomy.
