GIUSEPPE BATTAGLIA

knowledge relating to the essential morphological characteristics and related modes of functioning of systems, systems and organs in humans and their interactions. Study of the sense organs, the Central and Peripheral Nervous System, the endocrine system, the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory and genital systems. Histological characteristics of tissues: bone, striated muscle and nervous tissue

The student must show knowledge of basic histology, structure of organs and systems and functions of organs and systems.

It is required the knowledge of basic chemistry, biochemistry and physics.

HISTOLOGY

ANATOMO-FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
Overview of neurons and glial cells. Motor and sensory neurons. Anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions). Membrane potential, concentration gradient, electrical gradient. Action potential. Nerve impulse conduction. Synapses and signal transmission. Myelinated and unmyelinated fibers. Excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials. Motor and sensory functions. Receptors. Reflex arc. General somatic sensation. Anatomy and physiology of the eye and ear. Central sensory pathways Motor control: movement and postural regulation. Pyramidal tract and extrapyramidal system structures. Cortical motor and sensory areas. Cerebellum
ANATOMO-FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
