SCIENZE MORFO FUNZIONALI

Learning Objectives

• FISIOLOGIA

  The course allows the student to acquire the knowledge about the vital functions of man and the cellular mechanisms of the major biological systems. It analyzes the integrated functioning of the different organs and systems of control by which the living organism obtains and maintains the homeostasis inside.

• Human Anatomy

  The student must be able to demonstrate the knowledge about the structural organization of the human body, at the macroscopic level, and the topographical relationships between the organs, correlating them with their histological structure and their function.

• Histology

  The Histology module purpose is to provide students with appropriate skills on the processes of histogenesis and human embryology, with a detailed description of human prenatal development in the various stages of development, from the zygote (fertilization) to the embryo (embryogenesis) up to IV week of development and on the fundamental aspects of the tissues of the human body.

Course Structure

• FISIOLOGIA

  During the course of the lessons there will be written tests and oral interviews in the appeals indicated in the exam calendar.

  The student will receive a pdf of some topics covered in class.

• Human Anatomy

  Classroom lessons.

• Histology

  Lectures and exercises.
