- Educational objectives
- At the end of the course the student must: A) critical knowledge of the morphological characteristics of the cells and normal tissues of the human body; B) understand the mechanisms through which it is realized, in the course of development, the structural organization of the human body in order to learn the mechanisms of emergence of diseases on the basis of malformation; C) demonstrate that they have acquired the knowledge necessary preliminary to follow with profit the next courses.D) acquire the ability to communicate essential, comprehensive and with suitable theoretical and practical knowledge learned during the course.
- Prerequisites
- In order to be able to understand the topics described within the Course, you must possess basic knowledge about Chemistry and Cell Biology.
- Teaching methods
- The course is organized in lectures on all subjects of the course.

- Learning verification modality
- The examination includes the only oral exam. This test consists in a discussion lasting about 20 minutes aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and understanding achieved by students on the theoretical contents regarding the issues addressed in teaching. The oral examination, also, permitted to verify the acquisition of the ability to integrate data from the study of the morphology of cells and tissues and its correlations between structure and function, as an essential cultural background for the future understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of organs and the human body systems.
- Extended program
- The course includes two subjects of study: Istology and Embriology and it is performed according to the program shown below.Hierarchical levels of aggregation : cell, tissue, organ, apparatus and body. Definition and classification of tissues.Epithelium: simple epithelia, stratified epithelia, pseudostratidied epithelia, transitional epithelium. Cell adhesion in epithelial membranes. Specializations of the cell surface in epithelia (cilia, microvilli, stereocilia). Intercellular junctions. Basement membrane. Gland epithelium: unicellular and multicellular glands, exocrine and endocrine glands. Connective tissue proper: cells and extracellular matrix. Adipose tissue. Cartilage and bone. Development and growth of bone. Mesenchyme. Nervous tissue: nerve fibers and peripheral nerves. Axonal flow. Myelin sheath. Nevroglia. The synapse. Blood: erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, plasma. Hemopoiesis. Muscle: smooth muscle, striated skeletal muscle, striated cardiac muscle. Muscle contraction.Histology of the tooth: Enamel. Dentin. Dental pulp. Tissues of the periodontium: Cement. Periodontal ligament. Gingiva and alveolar mucosa.General EmbryologyMale genitalia and female gametogenesis: spermatogenesis and oogenesis. Ovarian cycle and uterine cycle. Fertilization and segmentation. Formation of the blastocyst and implantation in the uterus. Abnormal implants. Bilaminar and trilaminar embryo formation. Longitudinal and transverse folding of the embryo. Derivatives of the three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.OrganogenesisBranchial apparatus: face, pharyngeal arches and their derivatives. Cardiovascular: heart development and the development of the great vessels. Aortic arches. Fetal and neonatal circulation.Development of toothOdontogenesis. Dentinogenesis and amelogenesis. Development of the periodontium.
