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.
