Expected learning outcomes at the end of the Histology module:
- understand the morphology and structure of tissues
- be able to describe and interpret a histological structure
- be aware of the relationship between structure and function in tissues to understand regulatory mechanisms and human pathologies

Expected learning outcomes at the end of the Anatomy module:
Upon completion of the course, students should: (i) understand the basics of human anatomy, (ii) be able to make comparisons of the general morpho-functional organization of the various systems, and (iii) be able to describe the individual organs of the various systems from a macroscopic, topographical, and microscopic perspective using correct terminology.

Expected learning outcomes at the end of the Physiology module:
The course aims to provide students with basic knowledge of the functioning of cells, organs, and body systems, also considering the relationships (at various levels) between structure and function. The first part of the course will address transport mechanisms across biological barriers and concepts related to electrophysiology and the conduction of electrical signals. The second part will explore in detail the mechanisms underlying muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and renal physiology.

Knowledge of Cellular and Molecular Biology

Program of Anatomy
First part:
• General anatomy: Anatomical terminology. General organization of the human body.
• Locomotor system: Generalities on bones, classification of joints and muscles. General morphological features of the skull, trunk, upper and lower limbs.
• Cardiovascular system: Morphology, position and relationships of the Heart. Pericardium. Arteries. Capillary. Veins. General and pulmunary circulations.
Second part:
• Respiratory system: Morphology, position and relationships of the upper airways (nose, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi). Lungs. Pleure.
• Digestive system: General characteristics of the morphology and structure of the digestive canal (oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine) and related glands (major salivaries, liver and pancreas).
Third part:
• Urinary system: General characteristics of the morphology and structure of the kidneys. Nephron. Urinary tract (ureters, bladder and urethra).
• Genital system:
Male: Testicles. Spermatic ways. Glands attached to the spermatic ways.
Female: Ovaries. Fallopian tubes and uterus. Ovarian cycle and menstrual cycle.
Part Four:
• Central nervous system: Anatomy and general organization of the nervous system. Spinal cord. Brain (brainstem, cerebellum, diencephalon, and telencephalon). Peripheral nervous system (notes on spinal and cranial nerves, notes on the eye and ear).
• Endocrine system: Morphofunctional aspects of the pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands and endocrine pancreas.

Program of Histologys
Elements of Cytology and Methodology
Methods and instruments of investigation for the observation of cells, tissues and organs. Preparation of histological specimens. Principles of staining and reading of an histological sample. Microscopy techniques in the morphological investigation: light and electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence on cell and tissue preparations.
The cell and its organelles
Concept of tissue, organs and systems
Epithelial tissues: Covering Epithelia: general characteristics, organization, classification and description of the different types of Epithelia. Characteristics and surface specializations of Epithelial cells. Intercellular junctions. Glandular epithelia: exocrine and endocrine glands.
Connective Tissue: cells and extracellular matrix (fibers and amorphous ground substance). Connective Tissue Proper (loose and dense). Adipose tissue.
Supporting Connective Tissues: Cartilage: (hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage). The perichondrium. Bone: compact bone and cancellous (spongy) bone. The periosteum and endosteum. Histogenesis of the cartilage and bone. Intramembranous and endocondral ossification. Bone remodeling. Fracture repair.
Blood. Bone marrow and Hematopoiesis. Lymphoid tissue. Concepts on the immune system. Muscle tissue: smooth, skeletal and cardiac muscle. Nerve tissue and Neuroglia. Synapses.

Program of Physiology
Neurophysiology
Physiology of the cell membrane and transport mechanisms. Membrane potential, action potential, impulse transmission. Synaptic transmission: types of synapses, postsynaptic potentials, endplate. Muscle contraction.
Physiology of the sense organs: receptors, unit sensory coding. The view. Hearing. The sense of touch and pain. The taste and smell. Posture control: spinal reflexes, brainstem mechanisms. Function of the cerebellum, basal ganglia, the cortex. The autonomic nervous system: the sympathetic and parasympathetic system.
Physiology of circulation
Heart and electrical events: the cardiac cycle, the physiological pacemaker, the conduction system. The electrocardiogram. Dynamic cardiovascular: cardiac output, heart rate, systolic volume. The systemic circulation: general characteristics, blood pressure, circulation, venous return. Local control of the cardiovascular system. Control nervous, hormonal and renal arterial pressure
Physiology of respiration
Respiratory mechanics: pulmonary distensibility; volumes and lung capacity, alveolar ventilation. Gas exchange. Nervous and chemical control of breathing
Physiology of the kidney
Renal blood flow and glomerular filtration. The concept of clearance. Tubular functions: reabsorption optional. Countercurrent mechanism. Control the volume and osmolarity of body fluids
Physiology of digestion
Swallowing, gastric motility, intestinal motility. Gastric digestion. Digestion in the small intestine. Absorption. Nervous control of gastrointestinal function
Physiology of the endocrine system
General mechanisms of hormone action. The hormonal assays. The control of the endocrine system: the hypothalamic-pituitary system. Endocrine control accretion: adenoipofisari role of hormones, thyroid, adrenal. Endocrine control of metabolism: role of pancreatic hormones, thyroid, adrenal. Endocrine control of electrolyte balance: the role of pituitary hormones, adrenal, parotid and vitamin D.
