Learning outcomes

L’insegnamento si propone di fornire le conoscenze di scienze di base quali istologia, anatomia e fisio-logia, pre-requisito per ulteriori approfondimenti specialistici che saranno oggetto degli insegnamenti successivi; l’obiettivo è di fare apprendere agli Studenti l’organizzazione morfologica e strutturale della cellula e dei tessuti, e la conoscenza sullo sviluppo dell’embrione umano. Verranno inoltre trattate l’architettura e la morfologia anatomica di organi, sistemi ed apparati e del si-gnificato funzionale della loro organizzazione complessiva nel corpo umano; saranno inoltre fornite le basi per la comprensione dell'organizzazione generale del corpo umano, il funzionamento dei diversi organi e la loro integrazione dinamica in apparati.

Examination Methods

------------------------
MM: ISTOLOGIA ED EMBRIOLOGIA
------------------------
The oral exam includes two questions, one concerning the cytology/histology program and the other concerning the embryology program. In order to pass the exam , each question concerning a specific program topic must be answered with competence and preparation deemed at least sufficient and evaluated in 18/30.
------------------------
MM: ANATOMIA UMANA
------------------------
The oral exam will take place in presence of all three teachers for each single, integrated course (Histology, Human Anatomy and Human Physiology); exams will be in co-presence in the same classroom; at the end of the interview the commission will provide a final evaluation, weighted by the CFU of the three courses. Each course must result sufficient for the final evaluation.
