Training objectives

------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 011244/2 - ISTOLOGIA (mutua dall'attività formativa ISTOLOGIA - 011244/2 del CdS INFERMIERISTICA (abilitante alla professione sanitaria di Infermiere) - 1055)
------------------------------------------------------------
To know the structure and organization of the tissues of the human body. To understand the relationships between structure and function in the tissues in the human body. At the end of the course the students should know how to use the acquired notions for the purposes of practical / professional purposes, proving to correctly place what they have learned, in terms of microscopic morphology, in the context of the functions of the tissues of the human body.

------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 20974 - ANATOMIA UMANA (mutua dall'attività formativa ANATOMIA UMANA - 011142/1 del CdS INFERMIERISTICA (abilitante alla professione sanitaria di Infermiere) - 1055)
------------------------------------------------------------
To know the structure and organization of tissues, organs and apparatuses of the human body. To understand the relationships between structure and function in the tissues and most organs in the human body. At the end of the course the students should know how to use the acquired notions for the purposes of practical / professional purposes, proving to correctly place what they have learned, in terms of microscopic and macroscopic morphology, in the context of the functions of the apparatuses and systems of the human body.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam consists of a written test in the form of multiple choice quizzes. For Anatomy the exam is divided into two parts, Anatomy I and II, each with 30 questions to be answered in 30 minutes. The student can choose whether to support only one of the two parts, or both, in a single appeal. The part that is successfully passed remains valid for one year. The Anatomy grade is given by the arithmetic average of the two parts, but only if both have been passed with the minimum grade of 18/30.
Histology offers 30 quizzes to be answered in 30 minutes. To obtain a sufficient vote in Histology it is necessary to correctly answer at least 18 quizzes. The final grade of the integrated course derives from the sum of the scores obtained in Anatomy (value 80%) and Histology (value 20%) expressed in thirtieths.
