Course organization
The aim of the course is to allow the student to Know and understand the structural organization of the cell and human tissues .
At the end of the course the student must be able to:
1) Recognize and describe the structural of the cell, assigning to each component its specific function;
2) Describe the concept of cell differentiation and correlate the cell morphology with their functional activity.
3) Recognize and describe the main human body tissues.

The exam is written and includes the use of multiple choice questions (5 replies to each question of which only one is correct). The questions are 20
For each correct question it is assigned a point and there are no penalties for wrong answer. Half of correct questions determines sufficiency. In case of doubt in the preparation of the candidate, the teacher can convoke the student and check his preparation orally
