Objectives

Human Anatomy module: At the end of the course the student must have acquired a three-dimensional representation of human body, surface characteristics, and internal organization. The approach will be mainly of a systematic type, based on the study of the single apparatus and therefore of the organs and viscera that constitute the systems and apparatus. At the same time, students will be provided with the basic notions for a topographical study of Human Anatomy, taking into account the large regions of the body in order to better evaluate the relationships between organs, viscera and connective devices in each territory. Organs and viscera will be considered in their macroscopic and microscopic structural features as they appear after dissection of the body, after radiological examination and after observation of sections processed for optical microscopy. When necessary, ultrastructural aspects will also be taken into consideration. The acquisitions will be finally integrated with elements of functional anatomy and clinical anatomy to avoid a too sectorial view of the subject.Histology module:knowing the early stages of human development, the embryological origin of tissues, the significance of stem cells, cell differentiation;
-knowing the morphology of cells and tissues and correlating it closely to function;
-to understand the structural organization at the microscopic level of the human body, that is at the base of the anatomy and of the physiological and pathological processes and the techniques used in the Histology laboratory.

Contents

Human Anatomy module: Starting from the INTRODUCTION TO SPLANCNOLOGY, the module deals with the study of the apparatuses and systems that make up the human body, with attention to the localization and relationships that the organs that make it take between them and with the surrounding structures hinting their functions.Histology module: Embryological derivation, microscopic structure and functional correlations of human tissues.
Methods of preparation of histological preparations and methods of study in Histology.

Teaching Methods

Frontal lessons stimulating interactivity through classroom discussion of the topics addressed.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

the multiple choice test consists of 30 questions proportionally distributed for the 2 modules: Human Anatomy 15 and Histology 15. The essential requirement to pass the exam is to answer at least 50% of the questions of each single module. the vote is calculated by multiplying the number of correct answers by two. The questions are prepared by the teacher during the academic year of reference.
