Basic knowledge of chemistry and biochemistry. Knowledge of the structure and functions of the cell.
Examinations will be conducted in presence
The verification of learning will take place
- an in itinere written test, the two scheduled dates will be in February, the quiz will be of 30 multiple choice questions, the questions will be on the following topics. cytology/histology, neuroanatomy (central nervous system), splanchnology (apparatus, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urinary, genital). First semester programme.
Those who pass the ongoing examination, obtaining at least a mark of 18/30, will be able to take a written examination (quiz of 30 questions) and an oral examination from June onwards for the next 6 terms. The syllabus to be perfected will be osteo-arthro-miology and peripheral nervous system with sense organs.
If a student who has passed the in itinere examination in February but fails the second part of the examination within the six canonical dates, he/she will lose the validity of the in itinere examination and will have to take it again the following February.
Those who do NOT pass the FEBRUARY ITINERARY TEST from June onwards will have to sit a written exam (30 multiple-choice quiz questions) and an oral exam, perfecting the entire syllabus of the Human Anatomy and Histology course
All written examinations are conducted on an IT platform.
Please remember your e-learning and University e-mail access credentials.
At the examination, appropriate dress code for a university examination is required, out of respect for the lecturer and the institution
Learning the structural organization of the human body from the macroscopical to the microscopical point of view with their anatomical-clinical applications. Recognize the morphological characteristics of systems, organs, tissues, cells and subcellular structures of human organism. with references to hints of Embryology.
