| Histology and embryology
(objectives)
Aim of the integrated course of Histology and Embryology is to provide to students knowledge on the physiological organization and development of cells and tissues. During the Histology lectures fundamentals of cytology are discussed for the full understanding of tissue organization. Histological procedures, including different microscopy approaches (optic, fluorescence and electronic), are illustrated as the tools for the study of structure and development of mammalian organisms.
At the end of the course, the students will be able to recognize and describe the microscopic anatomy of tissues and organs, and the processes leading to their formation during development. Knowledge acquired will be fundamental for the subsequent study of physiology, anatomy, pathologic anatomy and clinical disciplines.
