Physiology II
(objectives)
The course aims to provide the knowledge of the fundamental physiological mechanisms of human functions. The course includes the acquisition of knowledge on the operating principles of the organs that compose the human body, and their dynamic integration into apparatus. The course will allow to acquire the ability to independently apply the knowledge of organ and system functioning mechanisms to situations of potential functional alteration. Students will also need to know the main indicators and normal parameters of human physiological functions, and the related measurement methods. These objectives will be achieved through lectures, seminars and interactive teaching activities, aimed at facilitating learning and improving the ability to solve simple physiological problems. Expected learning outcomes 1. Knowledge and Understanding Conceptual and methodological tools will be offered for starting up the study of human physiology, through the acquisition of knowledge and understanding of the physiological principles that govern the function of the organism's systems. To demonstrate the knowledge of organ functions and to acquire the ability for integrating physiology from the cellular and molecular level to the organ and apparatus systems. To know the adaptations of the vital functions of the human body in response to the practices of physical activity. Evaluate the consequences of alterations at organ level in the overall functioning of the human body. 2. Applying Knowledge and Understanding To autonomously apply the knowledge of the organ and system functioning mechanisms to situations of potential functional alteration relating to the specific field to which the student will dedicate himself in the professional activity.
3. Making Judgements At the end of the course the student will have acquired knowledge that will enable him/her to describe the mechanisms underlying the functions dealt with and to assess independently different opinions on problematic aspects of Human Physiology. To recognize the importance of a thorough knowledge of the topics covered for an adequate medical education. To identify the fundamental role of the correct theoretical knowledge of the subject in clinical practice.
4. Communication Skills To orally present the topics in an organized and coherent way, using an adequate scientific terminology and compliant with the topic of the discussion.
5. Learning Ability To identify the possible applications of the skills acquired for the future career and to have communication skills for conveying the learned knowledge.
