Learning outcomes
Building on secondary school level of knowledge, the aim of this subject is to introduce main hierarchy of the human body description. Relations cell - tissue - organ - system - organism will be discovered. These interconnections will be further expanding using the Anatomical Terminology as the base of the Medical Terminology. In the preliminary stages we work on the principals of the general osteology, arthrology, myology, angiology and neurogenesis. This knowledge will be developed in systematic and topographical relations as the objective to the practical and clinical usage.
Completing the course contributes to better understanding to the integral relations in the structure and function of a body as an integral unit in terms of physiological, as well as basic pathological, processes. At the same time, it contributes to understanding a holistic perspective to the functioning of a human body. Student is supposed to use gained knowledge of the locomotory system, angiology, peripheral nerves and gastrointestinal tract in next term of the study of the anatomy, moreover, the theoretical background will provide the basic for consequent pre-clinical subjects of general medicine.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of biology corresponding to the 4-year grammar school level. On the base of the biology the new conditions will be created for functional application of the acquired knowledge to the medical anatomy and to the relation with biophysics, physiology and biochemical mechanisms which can possibly lead towards clinic disorder. Ability to create solutions of the model situations through the organs and systematic disability.

Assessment methods and criteria
Mark, Oral exam, Written exam, Student performance, Analysis of Activities ( Technical works), Dialog, Systematic Observation of Student

Understanding the holistic structure and function of the body, from its basic elements to the ability to perceive disorders on the basis of pathological and patophysiological clains, leading from local damage to the entire body. Course unit credit: The 100 % participation in the exercises. Knowledge according to the practices´ and lectures´ topics controled in the exercises (A - E grades). Unit credit course NAN/VCA14.
