Learning objectives
To acquire a detailed knowledge of the anatomical components that structure the stem cell niches of different adult organs
1 Dublin descriptor - knowledge and understanding: the student must be able to systematically and topographically describe the conformation and structure of the stem niches of adult organs in the microscopic and immunophenotypic aspects, describe the organogenesis and the stages of development.
2 Dublin descriptor- applied knowledge and understanding: identify morphological and functional diversity, provide a methodological approach preparatory to clinical reasoning.
3 Dublin descriptor - making judgements: the student must be able to sustain a functional histological/morphological reasoning.
4 Dublin Descriptor - Communication skills: The student must possess a precise technical language in histology and microscopic anatomy.
5 Dublin descriptor - learning skills: the student must be able to synthesize autonomously the numerous histological and morphological information in a functional perspective
