Course objectives
Human anatomy in the extent specific for anthropologists. The classes are given at the Department of Anthropology. The goal of this course is that the students acquire knowledge about the human body nervous system morphology and 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 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.
Syllabus
  • Introduction to the human nervous system
  • General anatomy of the human NS. Medulla spinalis
  • The cerebral stem. Cranial nerves origin
  • The cerebellum and the diencephalon
  • The telencephalon
  • The cranial nerves I
  • The cranial nerves II
  • The cervical and brachial plexus
  • The lumbar and sacral plexus
  • The autonomous nervous system, the ventricles in the CNS, the blood vessels of the CNS
  • The organs of hearing and equilibrium (vestibulocochlear system)
  • The organs of sight, integumentum commune Multimedia study aids are used in practical training. These include a 3D anatomical atlas and images therein generated

Teaching methods
Theoretical training in form of on-line 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 and eventually with multimedia study aids (3D atlas and generated study materials). Final finishing and mastering of knowledge of particular anatomical objects, elements and systems is carried out practically using anatomical models in an associated class Anatomy for anthropologists III - practical training. If epidemiological situation requires, the lectures can be in an online form.
Assessment methods
The course is concluded with an oral exam. The oral exam includes approx. 70 topics. The students draw one topic from the CNS description group, one from the PNS description group and one from the sensory organs and skin group. To pass the exam an adequate knowledge of human locomotor system (as well as in splanchnology and neuroanatomy) is required.
