Course Objectives

Objectives: the understanding and learning the mechanisms that underlie the functions of the human body. The course of Human Physiology, starting from the knowledge of biophysics, anatomy and biochemistry, represents a path to the study of organs and apparatuses both in the light of specific functions, and in their integrations directed to the control of the whole organism. These objectives will be achieved by analyzing the responses to changes in the internal and external environment at the cellular, organ, system and apparatus levels, defining the human-environment interaction.

Specific Objectives: these essential basic knowledge are enriched by elective insights specific for the Course of Study in order to stimulate the interest and participation of the student and provide the basis for subsequent courses of clinics.

Course Prerequisites

Knowledge of Human Anatomy, Physics and Biochemistry. Prerequisites: according to the Teaching Regulations of the Course

Teaching Methods

Lessons

Assessment Methods

Depending on the training needs, ongoing tests may be done to detect the effectiveness of learning and teaching processes.

The final test consists of an oral discussion at the end of the course, in which the student must prove that he/she has learned the topics of the course program. The final verification can be sustained in one of the date present in the calendar after acquisition of presence.

The oral discussion focuses on a series of topics in which the student must demonstrate:

a sufficient but incomplete basic knowledge (vote 18-22/30),

a discreet knowledge with the ability to clearly illustrate the topics (23-25/30),

good ability to illustrate the subjects with properties of language (26-28/30),

excellent knowledge of the matter moving easily from one subject to another contextualizing any interconnections and/or differences (28-30/30).

The laude is reserved to those who also show particular interest and knowledge of the functional aspects of the professionalizing sector, with high communication skills and autonomous learning.
