Provide the basic knowledge of the organization of the human body through the study of the macroscopic and microscopic organization of the organs of the body systems. Special attention is devoted to the analysis of the microscopic organization of the various organs and the mutual relations between the tissues and the cells that constitute them, necessary for the comprehension of their functions and pathological alterations.

Knowledge of animal biology, cytology and histology.

Lectures.

The final exam consists of an oral interview lasting an average of 45 minutes, during which the student is asked to explain and describe the topics in the course program. In particular, the oral examination is aimed at evaluating the student's knowledge about the macroscopic and microscopic organization of the organs of the various systems of the human body, as well as the student's understanding of the close relationship between morphology/structure and functional properties of human organs, necessary for the understanding of their pathological changes.
The evaluation will also take into account the student's exhibition capabilities.
