- 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).
- Other information
- The attendance is compulsory at least 70% of lessons.

- 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 knowledge of the main histological laboratory techniques and the ability to distinguish the various tissues in histological specimen. As an alternative to the practical test, a written test consisting of 30 closed and/or open-ended questions may be held. The assessment will consist of 1 point for each correct answer and 0 points for each incorrect or not given answer. A pass mark = 18 points will allow the oral test. 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. The practical test (or the alternative written test) and the oral test are aimed at verifying that the student is able to communicate, with method, propriety of language and of exposure.¿The final grade for the Human Histology and Embryology course will be given by the weighted average of the grades reported in the Human Histology modules (modules 1 and 2) and Human Embryology. For information on support services for students with disabilities and/or DSA visit http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa
- Extended program
- The course covers aspects of Embryology of clinical relevance that emphasize how embryology is an important part of medical practice. The program conducted will cover the following topics. Structural organization of the male gonad. Functions of the testis, spermatogenesis and related mechanisms of hormonal control. Structural organization of the female gonad. Functions of the ovary, ovogenesis. Phases of the ovarian cycle, uterine cycle and related mechanisms of hormonal control. Events related to Fertilization and early stages of embryonic development. Events related to the first and second weeks of development: segmentation, implantation,bilaminar disc. Notes on in vitro fertilization techniques and pre-implantation diagnosis, and biological basis of reproductive and therapeutic cloning. Phenomena regulating development of the embryonic trilaminar disc, primitive line formation and gastrulation, inductive interactions and neurulation; development of somites and embryonic coelom. Chorionic villus development, the stages of embryo folding and embryo body definition (weeks 3 and 4). Development of the placenta and its role.Twins. Formation of the first vascular network, embryonic and fetal hematopoiesis. Development of the heart and derivatives of the aortic arches.Notes on the development of the central nervous system.
Development of the branchial system, respiratory system, digestive system, and body cavities. Development of the urogenital system. Notes on the development of the skeletal and muscular systems. Embryological bases of the main malformations of the aforementioned apparatuses.
