Results of learning outcomes
The student should be able to describe the structures of the central nervous system and in particular the nuclei and the laminar structures, together with their anatomical connections. She/he must be able to describe the organization of the peripheral nerves and of the autonomic nerves.
Students should be able to describe the anatomy of the heart and the structure of blood vessels, together with the main arteries and veins. Finally, students shoul be able to describe the structures of the lymphatic system (primary and secondary lymphoid organs, lymphatic vessels).
