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.
Student is supposed to use gained knowledge in next term of study (Anatomy II.), moreover, the background will enable to use knowledge in other theoretical subjects (e.g. physiology) and consequently in pre-clinical and clinical subjects too.
Prerequisites
Students ought to have fundamental anatomy attainments at the secondary education level.
