Human Anatomy and Histology

Histology
The module aims to provide the notions to:
1) know and describe the microscopic and submicroscopic features of cells and tissues;
2) observe histological preparations to identify the morphological characteristics of tissues (structure and organization) and correlate them with their functional properties.

Anatomy
The module aims to provide the notions to:
1) know the general organization of the human body, with the description of the main features concerning the spatial reference axis;
2) describe and explain the macro- and microscopical features of the different organs, together with their main morpho-functional correlations, useful for the study of physiology and Pathology.

Histology
The student will be able to:
· illustrate the morphology, the microscopic and sub-microscopic structure of cells and tissues, particularly of the human body
· perform the observation, by means of bright field optical microscopy, of histological samples prepared according to conventional methods, to describe and identify the morphological features of various tissues
Anatomy
Students will know the main organs' normal macro- and microscopic features to recognize and understand pathological abnormalities.
