Morphological Sciences (Human anatomy and histology)
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The course describes the morphological aspects of tissues and organs of the human body in relation to their systematic microscopic and macroscopic organization, with particular deepening of the structures of the oral cavity and the masticatory apparatus.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the integrated course the student has understood the organization of the human body in its macroscopic and microscopic aspects and possess a deep knowledge of the organs and structures of the masticatory apparatus.
Lesson period: First semester

Prerequisites for admission
No prior knowledge is required
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of a written test of general anatomy and histology in the form of a quiz with 40 multiple choice questions and an oral test on the special anatomy of the stomatognathic apparatus which takes place in the following days according to the alphabetical order and extraction at fate of the beginning letter.
Passing the written test allows access to the oral exam. The 30th grade generated by the quiz can be confirmed, raised or lowered from the final oral exam without constraints.
There are no on-going tests, but only 8 exam sessions per academic year.
The results of the written test will be communicated to the students through a printed document hanging on the board of the Institute located in via Mangiagalli 31 and via email to the student representatives.
