Educational objectives
The main aim of this teaching is to provide students with the bases needed to knowledge and understand prenatal stages of normal and abnormal human development. This is of practical value in helping student to understand the morpho-functional interactions, inductive phenomena, regulative processes , the normal relationship of body structure and the causes of congenital malformations.

The exam include: A) Idoneative practical test on optical microscope (three histological specimen; 15 minutes) to check the ability to use the optical microscope, the learning of the main histological laboratory techniques and the ability to distinguish the various tissues in histological specimen. B. Oral exam of Histology and Embriology (almost three questions. about 20 minutes) to assess logical and knowledge competence learning and the ability to interpret data. More specifically, the student will have to show if he has learnt the main morphological, ultrastructural characteristics of the human body tissues.

Educational objectives
Human Embryology course aims to provide the basic knowledge of the mechanisms through which the main human anatomical systems develop. In perspective, the course provides the instruments to know the mechanisms that lead to birth defects. The main skills the students will acquire are:-critical knowledge of the gametogenesis and of the first stages of embryo development;- critical knowledge of the mechanisms through which histogenesis takes place and main anatomical systems develop during embryogenesis.The main skills (ability to apply the acquired knowledge) will be: -critical knowledge of both main human embryo stages and first organ bud by examinating pictures, videos and useful didactical models of human embryos.
Prerequisites
In order to be able to understand the arguments treated in the Embryology course, students should have knowledge of the basic scientific notions acquired in high school on general biology (particularly regarding the structure of eucariotic cell, cell nucleus, citoplasmic organelles, transcription, translation, cell division) and chemistry (acid-base concept, ions, molecules and macromolecules). Moreover, it is necessary to have attended the course of Histology.
Teaching methods
The course in organized as follows:-lectures on all subjects of the course;-practical lectures consisting of:1. projection of movies of human embryology and critical examination of pictures and didactical models of human embryos (4 lessons of 1 hour each, preceded by an introduction lecture);2. critical examination of didactical models of human embryos (3 lessons of 1 hour each, preceded by an introduction lecture);3. simulation of two embryology tests with relative corrections. First simulation (1 hour) will be after general embryology course and it consists of a written test with multiple choice questions; second test (1 hour) will be after organogenesis course.
Learning verification modality
To assess learning, students will do a written “in itinere” test and then a final exam. The “in itinere test” is aimed to assess the learning level of individual students in relation to the course content. The test may be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the didactic efforts made by teachers during the course.Test will be performed at the end of the study course and it consists of at least 30 multiple choice questions, each with five possible answers, one of which is correct (the test duration is around 30 mins).The final oral exam is about 20 min long.The aim of the exam is to assess knowledge and abilities (oral, written, listening, language) acquired by the student of Human Histology and Embryology course. Moreover, oral exam is used to assess communication skills and abilities to organize and synthesize the acquired knowledge into coherent arguments concerning the Histology and Embryology course.As a whole, the examination allows to assess the ability to apply knowledge and acquired skills, the ability of understanding the course contents, the ability to use a good technical language and to discuss the various relationships between histological arguments.
