There are courses, materials and/or assessment methods consistent with the needs of students with disabilities and / or SLD.
Educational objectives	At the end of the course students will acquire the ability to: 1) describe shape and position of the human organs with appropriate terms; 2) Correlate the microscopic structures of human organs with their functions; 3) Acquire a scientific and technical language useful to appropriately communicate with patients, colleagues and other health care professionals.
Prerequisites	Knowledges of Biology, Chemistry and Physics at the level of secondary school.
Teaching methods	Face-to-face theoretical lessons with the Powerpoint slides. Use of plastic models related to the topics developed at lessons. Practical laboratories of macro and micro anatomy. The education material presented during the lessons (with the exclusion of illustrations protected by copyright) will be made available to the student in electronic format (pdf files). There are courses, materials and/or assessment methods consistent with the needs of students with disabilities and / or SLD.
Other information	Frequenza: Compulsory. Contacting by email at francesca.riuzzi@unipg.it Sede: Dept. Experimental Medicine University of Perugia Building D, 1th Floor Piazzale Gambuli, 1 06132 Perugia-Italy
Learning verification modality	The level of learning achieved will be assessed in an examination comprising a written exam with multiple choice questions (seven questions for each matter) and oral exam consisting in an interview of about 15 minutes aiming to ascertain the knowledge level on theoretical contents as indicated on the program of the different matters. The oral exam will also test the student communication skills and the organization and exposure of the theoretical topics. There are courses, materials and/or assessment methods consistent with the needs of students with disabilities and / or SLD.

Cardiovascular system: heart and major vessels. Respiratory apparatus: trachea, bronchi, lungs. Microscopic anatomy. Alimentary apparatus: esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas. Microscopic anatomy. Urinary apparatus: kidney and urinary tract. Microscopic anatomy. General information about reproductive system: male and female genital organs. General information about principal glands. General information about central, peripheral and autonomic nervous system. General information about spinal cord; brainstem; cerebellum; diencephalon; cerebrum, sensory and motor systems, cranial and spinal nerves.

Reference texts	Istologia per le lauree triennali e magistrali di Sica - Di Primio - Armato - Bani - Baroni - AAVV • 2018 Courses, materials and/or assessment methodologies consistent with the needs of students with disabilities and/or DSA are provided"
Educational objectives	Knowledge and ability to understand structure, tissues and organs and correlation between structure and function for the purpose of an understanding of physio-pathogenetic mechanisms. The understanding of these mechanisms is also of fundamental importance to professionals in health care as their alterations underlie pathologies that are the subject of diagnostic investigations.
Prerequisites	In order to understand and be able to cope with the course, the student must possess the general knowledge regarding the structure of the eukaryotic cell and the function of its organelles. This basic knowledge is that acquired in the course of high school studies, in the training course organized by the University of Perugia, and necessary for the student to pass the test for access to the courses for the health professions with programmed number.
Teaching methods	Face to face with slide projections. Courses, materials and/or assessment methodologies consistent with the needs of students with disabilities and/or DSA are provided".
Other information	Attendance: compulsory, at least 70 percent of classes. Location: Sant'Andrea delle Fratte, piazzale L. Severi, 06132 Perugia. For information, elucidation and to set up a schedule for meeting, please contact via e-mail: francesca.mancuso@unipg.it
Learning verification modality	The examination of the teaching of "Bio-morphological science" consists of a written part and an oral part. The written part constitutes only a discriminating element for access to the oral part. For the written part (for which 30 minutes will be allowed), 7 questions will be administered for each teaching module (with four possible answers of which only one is correct). Access to the oral test is allowed only if the student answers correctly at least 4 questions for each teaching module. A student who does not obtain the minimum condition described above will not access the oral part and will have to repeat the entire exam. The oral part must compulsorily be taken in the same roll call as the written part before the committee and will cover all the topics of the programs. The final score, expressed in thirtieths, is determined collegially by the committee as a result of the two parts of the test. The test as a whole makes it possible to ascertain both the ability to know and understand, the ability to apply the skills acquired, and the ability to communicate correctly in writing. Pathways, materials and/or assessment methodologies consistent with the needs of students with disabilities and/or DSA" are provided.
Extended program	General characteristics, functions and classification of the lining epithelia. Structural organization, functions and classification of exocrine and endocrine secretory epithelia. Morphological and functional characteristics of different types of connective tissues. Morphological, structural and functional characteristics of connective tissue proper and adipose tissue. Structural organization, functions and distribution of cartilage tissue (hyaline elastic and fibrous cartilage) and perichondrium Macroscopic and microscopic structural organization of compact and spongy bone tissue. Bone remodeling and ossification. Blood: plasma and figured elements. Hemopoiesis and morphology of myeloid and lymphoid tissues. Morphology and structure of skeletal muscle fibrocells and organization of muscles. Morphology, structure, functions and distribution of smooth muscle fibrocells and myocardial fibrocells. Notes on muscle contraction. Structure of neurons and their distribution in the central and peripheral nervous system. Nerve morphology, structure and function of the synapse. Hints on nerve impulse conduction. Morphology and functional significance of astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependyma and microglia.
