Anatomy and Histology
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
- Acquisition of knowledge on the structure of tissues, organs and systems in normal conditions with particular reference to the auditory system.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student will be able to: Know in depth the anatomical organization, the topography and the structure of the organs of the human body, analytically described the organization of each organ and its relationships. the student will be able to classify the different tissues on the basis of the acquired knowledge and relative to the characteristics of the cellular and extracellular component. The student will also be able to describe the features of the various tissues' set-up relating to their structure and their anatomical location.
