INTRODUCTION
Definitions of the Human Morphology Disciplines and methods of investigation.

BASIC TOPICS OF NORMAL HISTOLOGY Classification of Body Tissues and Their Organization


Anatomical terminology.
Organ morphological classification. Body regions

TEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Skin:epidermis, derma and other skin structures.

OSTEO-ARTRO-MUSCULAR SYSTEM.
Skeleton. Bone morphological classification. Joint general features. Skeleton of the skull, vertebral column, thorax, upper and lower limb.
Skeletal muscular system: general features with references to the main muscular groups.

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM AND LYMPHATIC CIRCULATION.
General features. Vessels morphology and microcirculation.
Blood system: systemic and pulmonary circulation.
Systemic arteries and veins.
Schematic description of the lymphatic circulation and lymphoid organs.

BLOOD: blood cells and plasma. LYMPHA. HAEMATOPOIETIC ORGANS.

NERVOUS SYSTEM.
Central (CNS) and peripheral (PNS) nervous system. Somatic and autonomic nervous system.
Macroscopic anatomy of: spinal medulla, brain stem, cerebellum, brain.
Main nervous ascending and descending tracts
General features of the peripheral nervous system (cranial and spinal nerves).
General features of the autonomic nervous system.

URINARY SYSTEM.
Kidney and excretory urinary organs.

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS (FEMALE AND MALE).
Ovary and testis. Female and male genital organs.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.
General features.
Oral cavity, tongue, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, intestine, liver, pancreas.

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
General features. Nasal cavities, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs.

Power Point presentations of the teaching units are available on the Moodle@UniTs and Microsft TEAMS dashboards.

The assessment of learning is carried out exclusively in oral form. The student is presented with 3 or 4 questions related to the program's content. The student may take a brief moment (3-5 minutes) to prepare, even writing down some fundamental points, before providing an oral response. The duration of the interview is limited to 30 minutes. The evaluation parameters include not only the accuracy of the content presented but also the ability to logically structure the information in sequential points using correct terminology. The evaluation is expressed on a scale of thirty. The adopted evaluation grid is as follows:
Excellent (30 - 30 cum laude): Excellent knowledge of the topics, excellent language skills, excellent analytical ability; for the possible cum laude (30/30 cum laude), the ability to correlate the topics with each other and within the various themes of the discipline, as well as with related disciplines, is required.
Very good (27 - 29): Good knowledge of the topics, notable language skills, good analytical ability; the student is able to correctly apply theoretical knowledge to practical cases.
Good (24 - 26): Good knowledge of the main topics, decent language skills.
Satisfactory (21 - 23): The student does not show full mastery of the main topics of the course but possesses the fundamental knowledge.
Sufficient (18 - 20): Minimal knowledge of the main topics of the course and terminology.
Insufficient: The student does not possess an acceptable knowledge of the program's content. If a total lack of knowledge is demonstrated in even a single specific topic requested, the test will be considered insufficient, regardless of the possible positive outcome on other topics requested during the test.

This teaching module explores topics closely related to one or more objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable. Development of the United Nations.
