The Histology module aims to provide student with the skills necessary for the full understanding of the most important tissues of the human organism. The student must be able to acquire a correct terminology and develop skills of interpretation and application that, the graduate in Biomedical Laboratory Techniques, will have to use in the planning and management of work activities.
The Biology module aims at providing the students with the morphological and functional organization of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, focusing on both the descriptive aspects and the basic notions of biochemistry and cellular physiology required to understand the functions of the cell as a basic unit of living organisms.
The objective of the course is the learning of the constructive logic of the biological structures at the different levels of organization of living matter, the principles that govern the functioning of the different biological systems, the learning of the experimental method and its applications to the study of biological phenomena.
Students will learn the unitary mechanisms that regulate cellular activities, gene expression and genetic material transmission.
The Anatomy module provides the student with the anatomical knowledge from a basic macroscopic point of view to understand the general organization of the human body.
The teaching objectives are the acquisition of the morphological knowledge and the topographic organization of the single systems, organs and apparatuses in order to acquire the basic notions for the subsequent integrated courses.
The aim of the course of Medical Genetics is to provide to students the knowledge on the main notions on inheritance of monogenic, chromosomal and multifactorial diseases.
At the end of the course the student will be able to distinguish the main classes of genetic diseases and to recognize the modes of transmission of hereditary diseases. The student will acquire knowledge of the main methods of analysis useful for the diagnosis of these pathologies.
