Biology, Histology and Embryology

The general objective of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge on organisms belonging to the five kingdoms of living things: bacteria, fungi, algae, plants, animals. It is particularly noted how plant and animal organisms are closely interlinked with each other, with metabolic functions homologous, if not similar. It also demonstrates the morphological and functional characteristics of the various animal tissues and the general principles of embryonic development with special reference to domestic species.

Knowledge and understanding
the student must demonstrate knowledge of the structure and the main functions of the animal and plant cell, the morphological and functional characteristics of the various animal tissues and the general principles of embryonic development.
Applying knowledge and understanding
the student will have to demonstrate to be able to apply the concepts acquired during the lectures and to be able to recognize and describe the different histological preparations.
Making judgments
the student will have to demonstrate to be able to critically examine and argue all the information provided during the lessons and derived from the recommended texts.
Communication skills
The student must demonstrate the ability to communicate the skills acquired with an appropriate and updated terminology, consistent with that used in other disciplines, both during lessons and during practical lessons
