Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to provide students with the basic knowledge concerning Human Anatomy, Physiology and Histology applied to radiological Sciences. FUNDAMENTALS OF ANATOMY APPLIED TO RADIOLOGICAL SCIENCES 1 Acquisition of basic knowledge of human anatomy. It will place greater emphasis on skeletal muscle and the digestive, respiratory and excretory systems. The basics of radiological anatomy are also taught. FUNDAMENTALS OF ANATOMY APPLIED TO RADIOLOGICAL SCIENCES 2 Aim of the Course is to obtain adequate competence on anatomy through images of the nervous system and cardiovascular imaging. PHYSIOLOGY The aim of the physiology course is to provide students with the basic knowledge necessary to understand how the human body works, together with its homeostatic mechanisms. The course starts reminding some concepts of cell physiology that are important for the understanding of cell-cell communication inside and between tissues. After this, lessons will be focused on the physiology of organs and systems, including the functional and regulatory mechanisms aimed at homeostasis maintenance. The aim of the course is to give to students the tools for the understanding and for the prediction of the homeostatic adjustments that are necessary for human survival. HISTOLOGY The aim of the course is to allow the student to Know and understand the structural organization of the cell and human tissues . At the end of the course the student must be able to: 1) Recognize and describe the structural of the cell, assigning to each component its specific function; 2) Describe the concept of cell differentiation and correlate the cell morphology with their functional activity. 3) Recognize and describe the main human body tissues

MM: ISTOLOGIA
------------------------
The exam is written and includes the use of multiple choice questions (5 replies to each question of which only one is correct). The questions are 20 For each correct question it is assigned a point and there are no penalties for wrong answer. Half of correct questions determines sufficiency. In case of doubt in the preparation of the candidate, the teacher can convoke the student and check his preparation orally
