Course objectives
Human anatomy in the extent specific for the students of anthropology. 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 MUDr. Marek Joukal, Ph.D.). The goal of this course is that the students acquire knowledge about the human body internal organs structure. Knowledge of the human body morphology is fundamental for the students of anthropology, with respect to the integral approach to anthropological study and research. Understanding the morphology of the human body is fundamental also from the practical standpoint - without it it is almost impossible to grasp the majority of biologically oriented methods of anthropological research (while it is also important in social and cultural anthropology research).
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course the students should be able to understand the anatomy of the system of internal organs of man, adequate for anthropologists; the students be able to understand and explain the anatomical structure and function of the system of internal organs of the human body (splanchnology); to define and list its components; and use this knowledge in anthropological studies and research;

Teaching methods
Theoretical training in form of online presentation. Using commented anatomical illustrations and schematic diagrams the students are introduced to the issues of human inner organ system anatomy. 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 online demonstration videos and at the end of the semester during block classes on anatomical preparations and models in an associated class Anatomy for anthropologists II - practical training.
Assessment methods
The course is concluded with an oral exam. The oral exam includes approx. 50 topics, divided into three groups (digestive and respiratory system, urinary and reproduction system, cardiovascular system). The exam is carried out online, eventually in presence, epidemiological situation permitting. The students draw one topic from each group. To pass the exam an adequate knowledge of human splanchnology and also orientation in human locomotor system is required.
