| Prerequisites: | The class requires previous knowledge of basic Biochemistry, cell Biology and General Physiology |
| Target skills and knowledge: | The aim of this class is to provide the ground knowledge of Human physiology necessary for the following classes of the LS in "Biologia Sanitaria"
More in detail: 1) To acquire the basis of the concept of homeostasis 2) To acquire the basis of the correlation between structure and function. 3) To identify the role of the individual organs in the general process of homeostasis. 4) To identify the modality of acquisition of the sensory information of the self and on the environment 5)to provide a functions criteria to study human anatomy |
| Examination methods: | Written exam, four open questions to be answered in two hours |
| Assessment criteria: | The criteria that will be used to evaluate the level of comprehension of the acquired concept are:
1) Comprehension of the subjects presented and discussed in class; 2) Critical evaluation and capacity to relate the diverse concepts introduced in the lectures. 3) Level of completeness of the understanding of the individual subject. 4) Capacity to elaborate the integration processes among the different organs. 5) Correct and precise use of the scientific language |
