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