Objectives

ISTOLOGY
Main objectives to be reached in the Histology module:
Knowledge the main structural and ultrastructural cells and tissues features related to their specific embryological derivation, using the specific language.
ANATOMY
The final objective of the course is the acquisition of basic anatomical knowledge to understand the general organization of the human body with particular attention to the apparati involved in the pneumo-phono-articulatory and auditory systems. The achievement of the general objective allows the student to make full use of subsequent courses that require morphological knowledge and provides the graduate with a cultural substratum useful for practicing the profession and interacting with other professionals. Therefore, the expected learning outcomes foresee that at the end of the course the student must be able to remember the fundamental concepts to discuss the correlations between the structures of the human body and their functions, will be able to apply the anatomical knowledge and the ability of understanding of the technical aspects, will have acquired autonomy of judgment. In addition, he will have acquired the basic anatomical-medical terminology and the skills necessary for the professional opportunities foreseen by the degree course.

Contents

HISTOLOGY
Course contents provide the integrated knowledge of structural and ultrastructural morphology of different human tissues.
ANATOMY
The class will define the appropriate reference terminology and will examine the main organs and systems of the human body from a morphological and functional point of view. Particular attention will be paid to the functional anatomy of the pneumo-phono- and auditory system.

Teaching Methods

Frontal lessons;
Laboratory practice.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

-In itinere exam: the exam involves a multiple choice written test (31 questions with 4 answer options, of which only one is correct. Each correct answer is worth 1 point and no points are deducted for incorrect or not given answers).
-Oral exam.
The final grade will be expressed out of thirty.
