Development of the course
The course aims to develop in students a sufficiently thorough knowledge of the morphological organization of the human body, from the ultrastructural and microscopic to the macroscopic level, with particular regard to the structure and morphofunctional characteristics of the tissues of the oral cavity.

Learning outcomes
Critical knowledge of the essential morphological characteristics of subcellular structures and of normal human cells and tissues. Correlation between cell and tissue structure with their specific function as cultural background to understand the physiology and pathophysiology of human organs and systems, with particular regard to the stomatognathic apparatus.
