| Contents | MEDICAL EMBRYOLOGY AND ORGANOGENESIS¿1)Spermatogenesis and Folliculogenesis Ovarian and uterine cycle.¿2) Fertilization.¿3) The First 4 weeks of development: Embryonic annexes¿4) Embryogenesis and embryogenetic defects of the female and male reproductive apparatus.¿5) Development of the main body systems ( branchial, respiratory, digestive, uro-genital, cardiovascular ) Notes on the development of the body cavities and of skeletal and muscular system. |
| Reference texts | M. De Felici, C. Boitani, M. Bouché, R. Canipari, A. Dolfi, A. Filippini, A. Musarò, G. Popaccio, A. Salustri.¿Embriologia Umana Morfogenesi - Processi Molecolari - Aspetti Clinici, Eds: Piccin, Terza Edizione, 2020. |
| Educational objectives | Knowledge of the processes of gametogenesis and fertilization; analysis of the development of the human body with reference to the morpho-functional interactions, to the inductive phenomena, to the regulatory mechanisms and with reference to the main malformative alterations. |
| 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. Viale Tristano di Joannuccio, 05100 Terni For information, clarification and to set up a reception time, please contact via e-mail: giovanni.luca@unipg.it |
| Learning verification modality | The exam include an 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 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 and Human Embryology.

| Extended program | MEDICAL EMBRYOLOGY ¿¿1)Spermatogenesis.2) Folliculogenesis and ovogenesi. Ovarian and uterine cycle.¿3) Fertilization and Segmentation. ¿4) First and second week of development: segmentation, implant and its faults and bilaminary embryo.¿5) Third week of development: gastrulation and trilaminar embryo.¿6) Fourth week of development: growth,organization of Embryonic Sheath, definition of the body of embryo and early organogenesis.¿7) Embryonic annexes: placenta, umbilical cord, amnios, corion, yolk sac, allantoid.¿8) Embryogenesis and embryogenetic defects of the female and male reproductive apparatus.¿¿ORGANOGENESIS¿¿Development of the branchial apparatus, of the respiratory system and of the digestive system. Notes on the development of skeletal and muscular systems. Development of uro-genital apparatus, body cavities and cardiovascular apparatus. Notes on the development of the central and peripheral nervous system |

| Contents | Optical microscopy. The preparation of tissue. Electron microscopy. Resolving power. The examination and interpretation of sections. Stains. GENERAL HISTOLOGY HUMAN (with notes of special and functional histology) 1) Definition and classification of tissues; 2) Tissues: epithelial, connective tissue proper, specialized connective (cartilage, bone and blood), adipose, nervous and muscular. |
| Reference texts | Histology atlases racommended:- Atlante di Istologia e Anatomia Microscopica, Ross et al., Casa Editrice Ambrosiana- Istologia Funzionale, Kerr, Casa Editrice Ambrosiana.- Bani D., Bani G., Bani Sacchi T. - Istologia - Casa Editrice Idelson-GnocchiImages of microscopic slides are also available in different websites, such as: http://web.unife.it/cdl/istomed/photo.htm. Testo di consultazione e con analisi dei singoli organi: - M.H. Ross & W.Pawlina, Istologia - Testo e atlante con elementi di biologia cellulare e molecolare,edizione italiana CEA 2016. |
| Educational objectives | At the end of the course the student must: A) own autonomy in the use of the microscope; B) have acquired knowledge on the main histological techniques used in the laboratory; C) have acquired the ability to recognize critically the various tissues in histological preparations observed at the optical microscope. The student must acquire adequate knowledge on biomorphological structure and function of the human body tissues |
| Prerequisites | In order to be able to understand and apply the majority of the contents described within the course, the student must have acquired basic knowledge of cellular biology. |
| Teaching methods | Lectures . Projections of histological preparations in the classroom with an indication of tissue recognition strategies. |
| Other information | Frequency: compulsory. University campus: Street Tristano di Joannuccio (Hospital S. Maria) - 05100 Terni. |
| Learning verification modality | The final exam consists in a recognition test of histological preparations observed on texts or under an optical microscope. |
| Extended program | MEANS AND METHODS OF INVESTIGATION. Brief history of Histology and its methods of study: the first means of investigations until microscope light.
