| Unaided Work: | Individual preparing of the readings, papers, reports, exercises etc. to be presented or submitted in theoretical lectures and practical classes; work with literature, anatomy web resources, etc.; to be able to study regularly, independently and critically according the curriculum and program of the study course; qualitatively fulfil tasks that are scheduled in the study course and timely submit the results for evaluation. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | To successfully acquire the study course material and prepare for the final examination of the study course, the student performs the following activities (compulsory, not assessed with a grade): 1. Participation in lectures and practical classes (20%). For each missed practical lab – a report or presentation must be prepared. 2. Work with study materials and literature (10%). 3. Oral presentation of independent work (20%). 4. Evaluation of students' knowledge and skills in the oral exam (50%). Exam grade is applied only for students who have passed all the requirements and tests of the course. Exam grade is cumulative. | ||||||||

| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | Students will be able to: estimate the role of the human body in the classification system of organisms, the principles of composition; describe the internal organs systems, organs, blood vessels, nerve location, areas (places) in relation to the skeleton (bones) and surrounding organs; their external and internal projection on the human body, relationships; name mean functions of organs and organ systems; insight of functioning of the person as a social being; be in charge of the international functioning classification and its CoreSets’; have an understanding on functioning changes that depend on the statement of health; insight of biomedicine and bio-psycho-social approach in medicine; be in charge of the ISO technical aids and its use for human functional impairment compensation. | ||||||||
| Skills: | Students will be able to: explain and show the skeleton bones and their structures, joints, muscles, main blood vessels and nerves, internal organs, their parts, sensory organs on study aids, using appropriate anatomical concepts; find and show the organs, blood vessels, nerves, their projection on the human external surface of the body and in different anatomical slices; they will be able to find and demonstrate functions of the blood vessels, nerves and to apply the knowledge of slices anatomy in the clinic; obtain, assess, classify and compare the information from different sources of information; ask specific questions, to look for answers related to anatomical issues and to express their point of view; work independently or in a team; enter into a dialogue and participate in discussions; identify the anatomic structures; distinguish the location of the classic structures from norm variants; interpret and explain the results, define conclusions and present the results (written, oral); asses the most important characterizing parameters of the functioning, using the functioning assessment tools employed in clinic; recognize the functioning restrictions; manage the most important assisstive technology used for human functional impairment compensation. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | Students will able to: know, identify and describe different anatomical structures of the human body relative to systems, location and planes of the body; demonstrate an understanding of the basic anatomical terminology and primary functions of the major systems of the human body; to integrate individual knowledge and skills in a global view of the whole human body; to understand opportunities and principles of functional diagnostic; to be able to use anatomy knowledge to assess the ability of human functioning and the restriction assessment, manage the most important assisstive technology indications / contrindications and the use of it for functional impairment compensation. | ||||||||
