Human Morphology
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The target of the course is to supply the students the knowledges about the organization of human body, in its macroscopic and microscopic aspects, with a particular focus on organs and structures that make up the visual apparatus.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student will have to
- know the morphological characteristics of the human body in its different levels of organization: organs, apparatus and systems;
- know the location of organs in the human body and their topographical relationships;
- know the main morpho-functional correlations that characterize the structures of the human body and have acquired in-depth knowledge about the structures of the visual apparatus and about the systems that allow and regulate their functioning.

Lesson period: First semester
Assessment methods: Esame
Assessment result: voto verbalizzato in trentesimi
Single course
This course cannot be attended as a single course. Please check our list of single courses to find the ones available for enrolment.
Course syllabus and organization
Single session
The lessons will be perfomed on-line through the Microsoft teams platform and they will be available both (sychronous and asychronous) at the same time based on the first trimester timetable. They will be registred and available on the Microsoft teams platform.
Prerequisites for admission
Basic knowledge of cell biology.
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam mark is determined with t=(5 * N)-n (threshold 4)
To achieve 18/30 both conditions must be met: N exact quiz minimum 12/40; n incorrect questions max 56/200.
The results of the tests will be uploaded to ariel.
Students who want to view their work can request an appointment by writing an email to [email protected]. In the request, please indicate: surname, name, serial number, degree course and date of the same name.
The final exam mark will be given by the weighted average of the results of the two modules
