The course aim is to provide the basics of microscopical anatomy necessary for the understanding of the mechanisms regulating the functions of tissues, organs and systems of the human body. The organization of the course is based on interactive lectures. The goal is to better define the ability to correlate specific functions to specific modes of structural organization.
The Anatomy module aims to provide fundamental concepts of human body organization, along with the basics of neuroanatomy and microscopic anatomy of various organs. This knowledge is essential for understanding the mechanisms that regulate the functions of different body systems. The course is structured around interactive lectures that utilize visual aids. The primary goal is to clearly define the correlation between the structural organization of organs and systems and their respective functions.
The teaching activity planned for the course will consist of face-to-face lectures, during which, with the use of visual aids, all the topics for which knowledge is required at the time of the final assessment will be explained and discussed with students.
In accordance with Law 170/10, "New rules regarding specific learning disorders in schools," support services are available for students with Specific Learning Disorders (SLD), disabilities, or other special educational needs. These services are provided through the Disability and SLD Support Services Sector. The contact person is Professor Nicola Girtler (nicolagirtler@unige.it). Students with these needs are encouraged to contact the instructor and the School/Department's disability liaison at the beginning of the course. This will allow them to discuss and agree upon any necessary teaching adjustments that, while respecting the course objectives, accommodate their individual learning styles.

First semester of the second academic year.
The timetable for this course is available here: EasyAcademy
An oral exam is scheduled.
During the exam, the university's regulations regarding assessment methods for students with certified Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) or other special educational needs will be observed. (For example: the use of concept maps to be reviewed and approved by instructors at least one week before the exam date; additional time in the case of written exams).
The oral exam will assess your knowledge of all topics covered in class.
You'll need to demonstrate adequate knowledge of the anatomical organs discussed during the course, both from a morphological (macroscopic description) and structural (microscopic structure) standpoint. Additionally, the exam will evaluate your communication skills, the quality of your presentation, and your correct use of specialized vocabulary.
The oral exam is considered passed with a grade of 18/30 or higher. Basic knowledge of the subject is required for the exam to be considered satisfactory.
