The course presents a short overeview of the functional anatomy of some parts of the body and highlights the most recent regenerative approaches in functional tissue engineering.

Functional Tissue Engineering - Farshid Guilak David L. Butler Steven A. Goldstein David J. Mooney - Springer From University library resources videos from: Grant's Dissection Videos, Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy, JoVE Video Journal.

Provide the basic knowledge of functional anatomy useful for the application of innovative approaches in the field of functional tissue engineering.

Basic on cell biology.

- Frontal lessons. - Anatomical dissection videos. - Explanatory videos on laboratory protocols relating to the basic approaches of tissue engineering - Interactive questionnaires in the class

The written exam consists of 10 multiple-choice questions and 2 open-ended questions. A passing grade is achieved with 7 correct multiple-choice questions and 1 correctly written open-ended answer. The exams take into account the needs of students with learning disabilities and follow specific procedures tailored to each case.

The lessons cover the following topics: - The heart: functional anatomy and functional tissue engineering approaches - Heart valves: functional anatomy and functional tissue engineering approaches - Blood vessels: functional anatomy and functional tissue engineering approaches - oral cavity and tooth tissue engineering - joints and cartilage: functional anatomy and functional tissue engineering approaches - respiratory system: functional anatomy and functional tissue engineering approaches

Acquire the knowledge that makes students independent in experimental design in the field of functional tissue engineering.
