I.C. Biological and biochemical foundations of living systems
(objectives)
The main objective of the course is to acquire knowledge relating to the physiological and morphological characteristics of cells, as functional units of living organisms. The key to any biological problem can, in fact, be sought at the cellular level.
Another important goal is the use of the experimental method as a means of understanding the biological mechanisms that regulate life and a tool for the study of pathological processes.
The course aims to introduce the student to the radiological discipline and to provide him with the basic knowledge of radiation physics and radiobiology. Knowledge of the main biological macromolecules. Knowledge of the functioning mechanism of enzymes.
General knowledge of the main metabolic pathways and, in more detail, of the main pathway of glucose catabolism. The purpose of the Medical Genetics course is to provide students with the main knowledge on the inheritance of monogenic, chromosomal and multifactorial diseases.
At the end of the course the student will be able to distinguish the main classes of genetic diseases and to recognize their transmission methods. Knowledge of the structure of the various microorganisms, of the microbial pathogenicity, of the causes and mechanisms of onset of the main diseases with microbial ethology are essential objectives.
