Learning Objectives

• ANATOMIA UMANA
  

  The course will provide students the necessary skills to understand the functional complexity of the human organism and the relationship between organ's microscopic anatomy and its function. The student should be able to acquire correct anatomical terminology and develop interpretative skills.

  
  The specific training objectives of the discipline include:

  • To know microscopic organizzation of organs by including details regard gross anatomy and their function
  • To know main methods to investigate microscopic structure of organs
• 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.
