LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM
Hystology and morphofunctional classification of bones and joints.
Body movement and body axes and planes
Hystology and morphofunctional classification of skeletal muscles; tendons, aponeuroses and accessory structures.
Aerobic and anaerobic contraction; motor unit; fast and slow, isotonic and isometric contraction; agonist, antagonist and synergistic muscles
. AXIAL STRUCTURES
Skull: cranial and facial skeleton. Cranial fossae; Orbital and nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses; auditory ossicles and hyoid bone. Sutures, atlo-occipital and temporo-mandibular joints.
Vertebral column: vertebral anatomy and regions; regional differences in vertebral structure and function; spinal curves; intervertebral joints and major spine ligaments.
Thoracic cage: Sternum, Ribs; Sternocostal and costovertebral joints.
Head Muscle: Mimic, oculomotors and mastication muscles.
Superficial and deep musculature of the neck.
Trunk muscles: deep, intermediate and superficial back muscles;
Thoracic cage and abdominal muscles, Diaphragm and respiration muscles.
. UPPER APPENDICULAR STRUCTURES
Shoulder girdle: Scapula, clavicle and their joints.
Upper limb: Humerus, radius and ulna; bones of the hand: carpals, metacarpals and phalanges.
Shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand joints and their muscle mobilization and stabilization.
Pelvic Girdle: Hip Bones (ileum, ischium and pubes), sacro-iliac joint and pubic symphysis. Pelvic movements.
Lower Limb: femur, patella, tibia, fibula; bones of the foot: tarsus, metatarsus and phalanges;
Hip, knee, ankle and foot joints and their muscle mobilization and stabilization.
Foot arches.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
Morphological and functional classification of neurons and glial cells
. CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM:
Spinal cord: macroscopic and microscopic organization; grey and white matter organization; neuromeres and dermatomes;
Meninges: dura mater, arachnoid and pia mater.
Encephalon:
Cranial meninges: falx cerebri and cerebelli, tentorium cerebelli, diaphragma sellae
Ventricles system: production and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid; brain-blood barrier
Brainstem: medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain
Telencephalon: hemispheres, lobes, fissures, sulci, gyri; Cerebral cortex: structure, cortical sensory and motor areas, associational areas, integrating centers, higher functions; White matter organization: association, commissural and projection tracts; Basal ganglia: anatomical and functional interaction with cortex and other central nervous system parts; Limbic system
Diencephalon: thalamus, epithalamus, subthalamus and hypothalamus
Cerebellum: anatomy, cerebellar cortex, encephalic and axial connections
. PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Spinal nerves and plexuses; Reflex arces
Cranial nerves: general overview, nomenclature and main functions
Sensory pathways:
posterior columns, spinothalamic and spinocerebellar pathways
Motor pathways:
Somatic nervous system: pyramidal (corticospinal and corticonuclear tracts) and extrapyramidal tracts
Autonomic nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic division; anatomical organization, preganglionic and postganglionic neurons, peripheral galnglia, neurotransmitters
. SENSORY ORGAN AND TRACTS OVERVIEW:
General and special receptors; Olfaction, taste, hearing and balance (inner ear), sight (eye).
Base of the movement and its regulation; swallowing, phonation and speech control.
