The learning objectives of the course are the development of knowledge related to: the eye as an integrated organ and the related organs that allow it to function; the bases of circulation physiology, respiration and excretion. Students will also acquire the skills necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying the nervous and muscular activity of the eye.

Modalità Erogazione
The course is made by lectures, exercises and self evaluations. During some lectures, the teaching will be supported also by videos. All the teaching matherials will be available on Moodle e-learning.Modalità Frequenza
To attend the course is strongly suggested.Modalità Valutazione
During the course the students will face 2 auto-evaluation followed by 2 written tests. Each test is composed by 3 open questions, the value of each question is 10. The mean of the three tests is the final evaluation grade. There is also the possibility to do an oral exam about the full program.
