Learning outcomes

Alla fine del corso lo studente deve essere in grado di riconoscere la morfologia microscopica di cellule e tessuti, nonché di descrivere forma, posizione, struttura e significato dei principali organi ed apparati. Inoltre deve acquisire i principali meccanismi di funzionamento della cellula e dei sistemi.

FISIOLOGIA: Fisiologia cellulare. La membrana cellulare. Il potenziale di azione: generazione e conduzione. La sinapsi. La contrazione muscolare. Fisiologia del sistema cardiovascolare. Fisiologia del sistema respiratorio. Fisiologia del rene. Fisiologia dell’apparato gastrointestinale. Fisiologia delle ghiandole endocrine. Fisiologia dell’apparato locomotore

ISTOLOGIA: Metodi di studio in Citologia ed Istologia. Struttura della cellula. Epiteli di rivestimento e ghiandolari. Tessuti connettivali. Sangue. Tessuto muscolare e nervoso. Apparato locomotore, circolatorio, digerente, urinario e genitale. Ghiandole endocrine. Sistema nervoso.

ANATOMIA: Fornire le conoscenze di anatomia funzionale e topografica dell'apparato muscolo-scheletrico: rachide, bacino, cingolo scapolo-omerale ed arti superiori ed inferiori, e la capacità di riconoscerle. Concetto di tessuto osseo e di ossificazione. Concetto di tessuto muscolare. Il cranio in generale. Le ossa dello scheletro assile . Generalità sull’apparato circolatorio . Cuore . Apparato respiratorio. Apparato digerente . Concetti generali del sistema nervoso. Generalità sul sistema linfatico. Il rene. Il surrene. La tiroide.

Examination Methods

------------------------
MM: FISIOLOGIA
------------------------
The methods for assessing is the results directly to ensure adequate preparation of students and the ability to effectively communicate the issues covered by the teaching activity. This determination, always individual, takes place under conditions which ensure the deepening, the objectivity and fairness of the assessment in relation to the teaching dispensed:
------------------------
MM: ISTOLOGIA
------------------------
The exam takes place orally and aims to ascertain the skills acquired through a question on the eukaryotic cell, morphology and function of its organelles and tissues. The grade of the module will be mediated with the grades obtained by the student in the other modules. The grade obtained in the form is not kept valid in subsequent sessions.
