BIO/17 - HISTOLOGY
The teaching is organized as follows:
Lezioni di di Istologia e Embriologia
Esercitazione di Istologia e Embriologia
Learning outcomes
The course is aimed at providing the fundamentals of human cell and tissue organization, as well as of the prenatal development of the body. The main thread of the curriculum is the relationship between morphology and function. To such aim, one of the primary goals is the development of the necessary visuospatial skills, namely the ability to recognize the structures of interest, their order of magnitude, 3D shape, and mutual spatial relationships, on the basis of histological preparations and images. Another primary goal is the development of the linguistic and expressive skills indispensable to properly communicate the acquired knowledge. The practice sessions, based on the study of virtual histological slides, play a central role in achieving the goals.

Bibliography
Examination Methods
The exam is oral on the four parts of the course:
1) Interpretation and description of a histological preparation in light microscopy (exam related to the practicals)
2) Cytology
3) Embryology
4) The tissues
A vote is given on each of these parts; the final vote is the arithmetic mean vote. A sufficient vote on part 1 is needed for the subsequent parts of the exam. The exam will have to be repeated entirely in case of insufficient vote in any of the parts.

IMPORTANT NOTICES - According to the Legislative Decree. n.18 of 17 March 2020 "Cura Italia" converted into law n. 27/2020 of 24 April 2020.
Students enrolled in the LM/41 class (Class of master's degrees in medicine and surgery)
The MUR, with note protocol n. 8610 of 25/3/2020 with the object: "Abilitation to practice the profession of Doctor-Surgeon - art. 102 - Legislative Decree 17 March 2020, n. 18 (converted with amendments by Law 24 April 2020, n. 27), provides for adapting the LM/41 class system to the regulations above.
Those who have completed/will complete the pre-graduation practical-evaluative internship with a judgment of suitability (according to Ministerial Decree 58/2018), having obtained their degree, are authorized to practice the profession of doctor-surgeon and can proceed with registration at the Medical Association.
Issuance of the licensing certificate
The following fees are required to be paid for the purpose of issuing the professional license:
State fee in the amount of €49.90 to be paid before attendance of the practical evaluation internship begins;
regional habilitation fee to be paid upon delivery of the habilitation title.
Students enrolled in Class 46/S (Class of Master's Degrees in Medicine and Surgery) and predecessor orders (currently out of course) or students enrolled in Class LM/41 with cohorts prior to the 2014 cohort (currently out of course).
The MUR, in Memorandum Prot. No. 8610 of 3/25/2020 with the subject: “Habilitation to practice as a Doctor-Surgeon - Article 102 - Decree Law March 17, 2020 no. 18” provides that, those enrolled in the former systems, with practical traineeship provided post - graduation (pursuant to DM 445/2001), without prejudice to the rules on the forfeiture of studies, may conclude the course of study without necessarily having to acquire, for the purpose of admission to the final graduation examination, the judgment of suitability of the aforementioned evaluative practical traineeship. In this case, the degree to be issued by the University will have the value only of an academic title. It will remain without prejudice, in any case,in the possibility for such subjects to eventually obtain the license to practice as a medical-surgical doctor at a later date, according to the modalities set forth in paragraph 2 of Article 102, that is, by achieving the evaluation of the internship prescribed by Ministerial Decree No. 445/2001. The Athenaeum will continue to prepare a separate qualification diploma.
Please note that the aforementioned students are in any case allowed to opt for the new system in accordance with the terms and procedures.
