Learning objectives
- Knowledge of the structural organization of the human body at macroscopic and microscopic levels;
- Knowledge of the main phases of embryological development of body structures;
- Knowledge of the essential morphological characteristics of tissues, cells and subcellular structures of the human body, with particular reference to the microscopic structure and to the main metabolic processes of the tissues of locomotor and nervous systems;
