| Contents | Study of the specific functions and pathogenetic mechanisms of the immune system. The lab of ocular immunology, ocular immunopathology. |
| Reference texts | IMMUNOLOGIA 7th edition Coico, sunshine, EDISES |
| Educational objectives | At the end of the course the student must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of: - Cell-mediated and humoral immunity function - Pathogenetic mechanisms - Main ocular pathologies due to impaired functions of the immune system - |
| Prerequisites | In order to be able to understand the contents of the Immunology and Immunopathology Course, the student must possess knowledge of Cellular and Molecular Biology (indispensable), Anatomy (indispensable), Istology. |
| Teaching methods | Frontal lessons on all the topics of the Course, with presentation and discussion of slides. |
| Other information | Schedule of the lessons and exams: The schedule of the lessons and exams is posted on the Course website (https://www.fisgeo.unipg.it/fisgejo/index.php/it/didattica/corso-di-laurea-in-ottica-ed-optometria.html) Consulting hours and location: By appointment through e-mail. Teaching room, Building C, 4th Floor, Medicine and Surgery Course,Piazzale Severi, 1. Perugia. For students with disabilities see the website http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa |
| Learning verification modality | The final exam is in an oral form and covers both the teaching modules. It will consist of an interview lasting about 30 minutes, with three questions on the entire program of the Course of Immunology and Immunopathology. The exam will be aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and the ability to understand the contents of the course, as well as the ability of knowledge synthesis and integration, reached by the student. The oral exam will also verify the student's ability of communication and speaking with an autonomous language.
