Training objectives
- 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.
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.
The course is aimed to provide a complete anatomical and functional scheme of structures involved in the production, articulation and sound reception. Prerequisites
