In accordance with the raccomandation of the school of Sport, Health and Physical Exercise the exame of   human biology is preparatory to for the exam of human anatomy.

The student must demonstrate that he has achieved a knowledge and understanding of Anatomy that allows him / her to set up the discussion of theoretical issues in a logical and complete way.

The student has  to demonstrate that they are able to set up the treatment of application problems in the Anatomy's field.

The studen has to demostrate to be  able to independently different opinions on problematic aspects of the Anatomy

The student has to demonstrate to  achieve a good learning ability, not only in the form of memorizing the information studied, but also in the form of organizing his own thoughts around the different topics of the course.
