Integrated course unit module: HISTOLOGY AND EMBRYOLOGY

Learning objectives

The target of the course is to allow the student to know and to understand the essential elements of the tissues and organs structure. The student will utilize knowledge and understanding for Anatomy and Physiology future study.
1 Dublin descriptor - knowledge and understanding: the student must be able to systematically and topographically describe the conformation and structure of tissues in the ultrastructural aspects of cell morphology and describe the organogenesis and the stages of development.
2 Dublin descriptor- applied knowledge and understanding: identify morphological and functional diversity, provide a methodological approach preparatory to clinical reasoning.
3 Dublin descriptor - making judgements: the student must be able to sustain a functional histological/morphological reasoning.
4 Dublin Descriptor - Communication skills: The student must possess a precise technical language in histology and microscopic anatomy.
5 Dublin descriptor - learning skills: the student must be able to synthesize autonomously the numerous histological and morphological information in a functional perspective

At the end of the course the student will demonstrate knowledge and understanding about: Cell structute and organization, Tissue structure and organization, Multi tissutal units structure and organization. Moreover at the end of the course, students will be aquire knowledge and understanding applying knowledge or learning skills to discuss critically the molecular bases of cell structure and tissue organization

Course unit content

Nella prima parte corso di istologia corso verranno sviluppati gli aspetti strutturali e funzionali della materia vivente e delle sue modalità di aggregazione a formare le cellule. Successivamente verranno illustrati gli aspetti strutturali e funzionali delle differenti cellule. Nella seconda parte del corso verranno analizzate le modalità di sviluppo delle cellule, fino ad arrivare allo sviluppo dell’intero embrione e degli annessi embrionali. Nella terza parte del corso verranno analizzati gli aspetti strutturali e funzionali dei tessuti e le loro modalità di aggregazione nel formare unità pluritissutali e organi.

Teaching methods

The course will be held through lectures to Students in the classroom (“in presenza”) or in synchronous-streaming (“in telepresenza”) on the Teams platform in case of the persistence of the health emergency. Therefore, the opportunity of Student/Teacher interaction will be preserved both face to face and remotely, by the simultaneous use of the Teams platform.
Lectures will be supported by slide presentations, which will be available to students on the Elly platform (https://elly2020.medicina.unipr.it/).

Assessment methods and criteria

Oral examination.
In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
remote oral questions, through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/).
Students with SLD / BSE must first contact Centro per accoglienza e inclusione CAI supporting students with disabilities,SLD, BES. (https://www.cai.unipr.it/)
