Learning objectives



The goal of the course is to give the student specific knowledge of the morphological and citological aspects of the reproductive apparatus and ability to understand the changes of the same in fertilization, in pregnancy and in any pathological changes.

Course unit content



The course is carried out in two parts. The first concerns the general morphological characteristics of the different systems and constituents of the human body systems. The second part of the course is centered on the male and reproductive apparatus with insights on both the macroscopic, topographical cytological and structural aspects, with particular attention to cyclical hormonal fluctuations.

Teaching methods

Lectures will be held on-site in compliance with safety standards, provided that further instructions on the ongoing health emergency are not implemented. Supporting material will be available on the specific, student-reserved platform (Elly) and will include slide presentations, audio-video aids or video-recording of the lectures. Therefore, the course will be held through lectures to Students either in the classroom (“in presenza”) or in synchronous-streaming (“in telepresenza”) on the Teams platform. Therefore, the opportunity of Student/Teacher interaction will be preserved both face to face and remotely, by the simultaneous use of the Teams platform.
Lectures will be supported by slide presentations, which will be available to students on the Elly platform (https://elly2020.medicina.unipr.it/).

Assessment methods and criteria

Oral exam. In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
remote oral questions, through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/).
Students with SLD / BSE must first contact Le Eli-che: support for students with disabilities, D.S.A., B.E.S. (https://sea.unipr.it/it/servizi/le-eli-che-supporto-studenti-con-disabilita-dsa-bes)
