Course objectives

Human anatomy in the scope of Faculty of Medicine. The classes are given at the Department of Anthropology, partly in the facilities of the Faculty of Medicine (with kind permission of the Head of the Department of Anatomy Prof. RNDr. Petr Dubový, CSc.). At the end of this course the students should be able to understand the anatomy of human nervous system adequate for anthropologists; define and list its components; the students should be able to explain the anatomical structure and function of the nervous system of the human body and use this knowledge in anthropological studies and research; such proficiency is essential for a study in any area of the knowledge of man;

Teaching methods

Theoretical training in form of presentation. Using commented anatomical illustrations and schematic diagrams the students are introduced to the issues of human neuroanatomy. This primary knowledge is supported by students individual work at home with study texts and anatomical atlas, eventually with multimedia study aids. Final finishing and mastering of knowledge of particular anatomical objects, elements and systems is carried out practically using anatomical preparations and models in an associated class Anatomy for anthropologists III - practical training.

Assessment methods

The course is the final in the three-semester cycle and is concluded with an oral exam. Advance to the oral exam on condition of passing an admission test – 10 points from from 15 possible in multiple choice, one correct answer test. The oral exam is divided according to corresponding anatomical units into approx. 200 topics. These are organized into three areas (Anatomy of the locomotor system, Splanchnology, Anatomy of the neural system). To pass the exam an adequate knowledge and orientation in all three areas is required (from each area one random topic is drawn by the student).
