Learning outcomes
Module:
N/D
Module:
Expected learning outcomes at the end of the course:
- know the morphology and structure of the tissues
- knowing how to describe and interpret a histological structure
- be aware of the relationship between structure and function in tissues for the understanding of regulatory mechanisms and human pathologies
Module:
At the end of the course, the student must know the basics of the structural organization of the human body with its main applications related to the anatomo-functional aspects, at the macroscopic and microscopic level, connecting the structural organization and the corresponding functions to the perspective of the future profession.
