ISTOLOGIA E ANATOMIA UMANA 2

Module ISTOLOGIA UMANA

Knowledge and Understanding

The student will acquire the basic cytological and histological knowledge necessary to understand the general organization of higher eukaryotic cells, their structural and functional specializations, and the cellular interactions underlying the organization of human tissues. He/she will understand the fundamental principles of histogenesis and the architecture of normal tissues, acquiring an integrated view of the relationships between microscopic structure and function.

Ability to Apply Knowledge and Understanding

The student will be able to recognize and describe the morphological characteristics of the main cell types and normal human tissues, including through observation and interpretation of histological preparations.

Making Judgments

The student will develop the ability to critically interpret the relationships between cellular structure, tissue organization, and function.

Communication Skills

The student will be able to clearly and accurately describe cellular and tissue structures, using appropriate technical and scientific language and correct cytological and histological terminology.

Learning Skills

The student will consolidate a study method useful for microscopic knowledge, developing the ability to independently update and deepen basic knowledge of the organization of the human body.
