By the end of the course, students will have been introduced to sources of scientific knowledge; they will have learned to describe the anatomical structures of the human body accurately, clearly and rigorously, and to memorise the technical terms used in anatomy; they will have developed a vision of anatomical structures in three spatial dimensions.
The aim of the course is to study the descriptive, topographical and functional anatomy of the normal human body.
Students are expected to acquire clear and well-structured knowledge, in which memorization plays an essential role.
The aim is also to understand the practical implications of anatomy in the pharmacist's field of activity.
The anatomy of the locomotor, nervous, cardio-respiratory, digestive and urogenital systems.
OSTEOLOGY: spine, pelvis, skeleton of the thorax, thoracic limb and pelvic limb, bone head.
ARTHROLOGY Joints of the spine, thorax, upper limb, lower limb.
MYOLOGY Muscles of the neck, thorax, abdomen, back, upper limb and lower limb.
NERVOUS SYSTEM: brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, spinal nerves, autonomic nervous system.
ANGIOLOGY: heart, arteries, veins, lymphatics.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: nose and paranasal sinuses, larynx, tracheobronchial duct, lungs, pleura, mediastinum, neck viscera.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM: mouth and its appendages, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, liver, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen.
UROGENITAL SYSTEM: kidneys, urinary tract, male genital organs, female genital organs, breast.
Students are encouraged to use the teaching materials provided free of charge in the Anatomy Laboratory study room (room M07) and on the course site within the Webcampus IT platform.
Demonstrations on cadavers, in the dissection room, or virtual demonstrations on the Anatomage tablet can be organised (depending on technical possibilities) to allow students to observe more realistically what has been described in theory.
The anatomy section of the examination is written and marked by P. Garin; it covers the material in the official syllabus for the current academic year, as well as the lectures and drawings produced during the current academic year. This part of the examination is written in the form of multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Wrong answers are given negative marks, to discourage 'random' choices.
The imaging part of the exam is written and marked by J.F. Nisolle.
The two parts cannot be split: for example, it is impossible to sit one without the other during the same session.
The final mark is the arithmetic mean of the two marks (anatomy / imaging) unless one of the two marks is less than 10.00/20, in which case the final mark may not exceed 9.00/20. This provision is intended to prevent some students from skipping one of the two parts of the course. An exception may be made by mutual agreement between the holders if the arithmetic mean of the two marks is greater than or equal to 13.50/20.
The official edition of the course syllabus is the one available in PDF format on the Webcampus website.
It seems that course summaries are circulated among students: none of them have been validated by the teacher.
