  • in her opinion, no need to buy a book. good.
  • lei ha studiato tanto EPITHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR

Exam

  • usually a written test for histology, embryology and stem cells

    • anyone not satisfied with their score (must get 18 in each module) can arrange an oral exam
  • for each exam you will find two types. in order to do the written test you MUST pass the laboratory assessment

    • for example, june 19th lab assessment at 8:30, exam at 10:30. everytime you must register into both WITH YOUR OWN DEVICE in the aula maestri. you can decide to have a paper exam instead
  • the test is multiple choice. about 20→25qs with a score from 1 to 2.

    • NO PENALTY FOR INCORRECT ANSWERS
    • timing 20→30 minutes
  • final score weighted average by CFU of the modules.

  • minimum 60% attendance to be admitted into the exam

  • on may 19 (g1,3,5) there is a preliminary lab assessment

    • about grades, she said that it will mostly be either you pass or you dont, so very high grade or no pass
  • on the day of the exam, come with your pc/ipad

Syllabus

Tissues - Characteristics of connective, epithelial, muscular, and nervous tissue.

  • Epithelial tissue: Embryonic derivation. Classification. Morpho-functional characteristics. Classification, cytological features and epithelial cell properties.
    • Covering epithelium: Structure, functions, classification and distribution. Membrane molecules, junction complexes, adhesion molecule relationships and cytoskeletal elements. Keratinization mechanisms and cell types that co-operate with keratinocytes. Basal membrane structure. Regeneration.
    • Glandular epithelium: Characteristics of secreting cells and embryonic stem cells of different glands. General concepts of exocrine, endocrine, autocrine and paracrine secretion. Types of hormones.
    • Exocrine glandular epithelium: Classification, structural organization, distribution and function of exocrine glands (parenchyma and stroma). Unicellular and multicellular glands. Classification based on location and form of adenomers.
    • Endocrine glandular epithelium: Classification, structural organization, distribution and functions of Endocrine Glands
  • Connective tissue: Embryonic derivation, organization, structural and functional characteristics. Extracellular matrix, proteoglycans and glycoproteins. Fibrillary component: collagen and elastic fibers. Organization and composition of the basal membrane. Intrinsic and extrinsic connective cellular component: fibroblasts, pericytes, endothelial cells, macrophages, mast cells, plasmacellules and adipocytes.
    • Connective tissue proper: Classification. Mucous, fibrillar, reticular and dense tissue. Connettive dense tissue. Adipose tissue. White fat cells (unilocular) and brown fat cells (multilocular). 
    • Support connective tissue: Structure, distribution, function and classification. Hyaline, fibrous, elastic and articular cartilage. Calcification of cartilage. Mechanisms of the chondrogenesis and role of cartilage patterns of bone skeletal segments.
  • Bone tissue: Mechanisms of osteogenesis (primitive and secondary). General organization. Flat, short and long bones. Lamellar and non lamellar bone tissue. Compact and spongy bone tissue. Role of different cellular elements (osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts) in bone remodeling. Periosteum and Endosteum. Bone matrix. Periosteum and Endosteum. Direct and indirect ossification. Bone turnover. Mineralization of osteoid (molecular and cellular mechanisms).
  • Blood, hemopoiesis and differentiation lines: Function and composition of the blood. Plasma and figurative elements (red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets). Coagulation. Structural organization and functions of myeloid and lymphoid hemopoietic tissue
  • Muscle tissue: Embryonic derivation. Classification, distribution, structural and functional characteristics. Characteristics and classification of contractile cells.
    • Smooth muscular tissue: Morphological and functional aspects of smooth muscle cells and its mechanism and contraction function. Regeneration.
    • Striated muscular tissue (skeletal and cardiac): Shape, size, origin and structure of skeletal streaked fibrocells: myofibratic structure, muscle-dependent proteins, and contraction mechanism. Role of sarcolemma, sarcoplasma and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Organization of skeletal muscles. Myocardial size and structure
  • Nervous tissue: Embryonic derivation. Structural and functional organization of the nervous tissue. Structural organization of neuronal and glial cells in central and peripheral nervous tissue. Neurons: shapes, size and structure. The nerve fibers. Mechanisms of neurosecretion (axonal flow and synapse). Structure of myelin and sheath. The structure and function of the synapses. Glia: morphology and functions. Mechanisms of the onset and transmission of the nervous impulse.
