- ------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 000035 - ANATOMIA UMANA
------------------------------------------------------------
The principal goal of this course is the acquisition of a basic anatomical knowledge to understand the functions of the human body in health condition. In particular the course will permit the acquisition of knowledge about the mechanisms that allow individual cells, tissues and organs to perform their specific functions within the human organism by the identification of the different components in the systems and the establishment of their physical and functional relationships. Therefore, at the end of the course the student will be able to recall the basic concepts to discuss the correlations between the structures of the human body and its functions. The students will also acquire the necessary basic medical terminology for the professional opportunities provided by the degree course.
------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 008871 - ISTOLOGIA
------------------------------------------------------------
The course aims to provide knowledge and understanding of the structures, organizations and functions of cells and tissue within the human body. At the end of the course, the student will be able to describe the microscopic structure of cells from different tissues and to correlate them with physiological functions. Furthermore, the student will acquire and use histological terminology as a basis for the critical interpretation of the histology’s observations and knowledge. Prerequisites

HISTOLOGY UNIT
The Histology module includes 16 hours of lectures carried out also with power point presentations. Learning assessment procedures
- HISTOLOGY UNIT
The exam consists of 32 multiple-choice questions (with 4 options per question). Each correct answer gives 1 point; wrong answers or unanswered questions correspond to 0 points; Exam duration: 40 minutes. Minimum score to pass the test: 18 correct answers.
HUMAN ANATOMY
The exam is written and it consists of 33 multiple choice questions that cover all topics of the program. Each question has 5 answers of which only one is correct. Each correct answer has a value of 1 point. Answer left blank or wrong has a value of 0 point. The exam duration is 40 minutes.
To pass the exam the student must obtain a minimum score of 18. If the score is less than 18, the student must repeat the test.
The final grade is a weighted average of the scores obtained in each test. Reference texts
