Introduction Historical overview - Definition of Anatomy General considerations Anatomical studies: dissection, microscopic study, use of informations from medical imaging, use of computer assisted imaging, anatomical tools for description Sytematic anatomy -locomotor system -cardiovascular system -respiratory system -digestive system -nervous system -uro-genital and reproductive systems Introduction to topographic and clinical anatomy

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The goals of that course are multiple: -first: to give an overview of the general architecture of the human body to allow a good undserstanding of the principal physiological processes -second: to give an integrative view of the anatomy -third: to train the student with the 3D vision of the human body and its components by the use of the descriptive tools (from old tool (as section, schemes...) to niew tools (computer assisted imaging, 3D reconstruction).A complete schedule of the learning outcomes classified by learning events is downloadable trough the online course. Attribution of the learning outcomes to each section is indicated on the schedule. The course dedicated to the medical students includes an introduction to embryology (origin and disposition of the 3 major tissular components of the embryo).

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

The student must fluent in french language and must control basic descriptive geometrical tools (axes, planes and projections)

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

5 workshops are organized (10 for medical students). Some workshops will be held in the "Institut of human Anatomy" and some will be avalaible on line on the WebCT course. Attendance is compulsory for both of them and subject to cotation.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

Schedule for each section will be published in the "vademecum"On line ressources are available trough "My Ulg" > "WebCT". > Slides, demonstrations, sketches performed during lectures, discussions and auto-evaluation can be found on that on line course . A special workshop "how to use your on line course" will be organized in october or november.http://www.webct.ulg.ac.be/webct/logon/137759553001
Slides, evaluation tools, documents required for the demonstation sessions and sketsches performed durindg the lectures are available on the on line course.
To access to the on-line course the sutdent has to complete a 3D visual test and an on-line lesson devoted to anatomical descrotion and it's tools in the specific field of human anatomy.

Recommended or required readings

The 2008-2009 syllabus edition is downloadable from the online course and purchasable to the "Presses Universitaires". Reference book: Possession of that reference book is not essential, illustrations from the lectures, syllabus and demonstrations should be of suffisance for most students.
