The course provides the students with a theoretical knowledge of the microscopic and macroscopic human anatomy with a special focus on the anatomical regions of greatest relevance to clinical practice and human pathology. Moreover at the end of the course the student will acquire knowledge on the characteristics of the main non pathological tissues (components, main location, function, embryological derivation). The student will acquire judgemnt indipendence, knowledge on histology and comunications skills

Notions of Cell Biology, acquired during secondary studies and the course of biological sciences of the degree course.

Introductory lectures with MS-Power Point skides prepared by the professor. On line questions and exercise with specifi app

Students with physical disabilities, Learning Disabilities or Special Education Needs can request specific services and tools via reference office consulting the University webpage: https://www.uniupo.it/en/services/services-students-physical-or-learning-disabilities. Students with disabilities, learning disabilities or special education needs, once they have contacted the University Staff, can refer to the tutor in charge of the course to define the examination modalities, concerning academic aspects. To the students are provided example questions of the exam task which are performed in the classroom with the teacher to understand the progress of the exam which consists of multiple choice questions

Written test with multiple choice questions. Up to 25% of the questions may contain pictures of tissue that the students should recognize among the options given in the answer sheet

knowledge on the morphology and function of tissues that are explained in class. recognition of the basic techniques of histology for tissue recognition. Moreover, upon completion of the module, students will be expected to know the microscopic and macroscopic organization of human organs, apparatuses, and systems, and to understand the relationship between their structure and function. They should also possess a good knowledge of the clinical issues these structures may present and be able to communicate their knowledge using accurate scientific and anatomical terminology.
