The aim of the course is to provide students with an adequate knowledge about human morphology particularly referred to the apparatus mainly involved in nutrition processes.

1) Microscopic Anatomy: covering and glandular epithelia, connective tissues, muscolar tissue, blood, immune system and related lymphoid organs. 2) Circulatory system: heart structure, major blood vessels and their major branches in the systemic and pulmonary circulation. Portal circulation. Lymphatic circulation and its involvement in the enteric function. 3) Respiratory system: structure of the bronchial tree and lungs. 4) Digestive system: detailed structural organisation of the different stations as well as the liver-pancreatic organ.  5) the kidney: nephron and iuhtaglomerula apparatus. 6) endocrine system: hypophysis, thyroid, parathyroid and suprarenal glands, Gonads. 

Animal Biology

Lo student must show mastery of knowledge regarding: the organization of tissues and anatomical bases necessary for a proper understanding of the functioning of the human body with special attention to the phenomena related to nutrition and to the growth of the organism.

The student must show an understanding of the basics of functioning of organs and systems by identifying their principal role in the maintenance of the organism.

The Student must show possession of the ability to use the knowledge gained by demonstrating to reason according to the specific logic of the discipline. Must be able to identify the functional correlations between multiple organs looked forward some hypotheses of dietary implications.

Assessment

It will carry out a test of learning during the first cycle (Histology) and after school (Human Anatomy) to assess the level of learning on the entire course program.

The methods of assessment are to only oral exam

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.
