Learning objectives

The objective of the course is to provide the student with systematic kowledge and understanding of skull conformation in the various phases of lifetime and of temporo-mandibular joint structure. In particular, the correlation between shape, structure and function will be analyzed to offer the student a useful tool for clinical practice and critical judgement acquisition.

Course unit content

In the first part of the course basic aspects on the locomotor apparatus will be discussed: joints classification and skeleton. The second part of the course will be dedicated to the skull (inner and outer surface and features of each bone). In particular some lessons will focus on the temporomandibular joint (gross, microscopic and functional anatomy).
