C.I. SCIENZE MORFOFUNZIONALI

Learning Objectives

• Human Anatomy

  The course is aimed at studying the main notions on the structure and anatomical nomenclature of the organs and systems of the human body. At the end of the course students will have to demonstrate that they have acquired the basic knowledge combined with an adequate exposition of the concept, demonstrating mastery of the subject and acquisition of the discipline.

• PHYSIOLOGY - Part II

  At the end of the course the student: knows the basic functional mechanisms of excitable cells and synaptic transmission; He is able to describe the basic functioning of muscular, nervous and endocrine systems and their dinamical integration to regulate visceral and relational organizations of human organism; He is able to describe the basic functional mechanisms of homeostasis of the internal medium, the basic functioning of the circulatory, respiratory, digestive and renal systems.

Course Structure

• Human Anatomy

  Frontal lessons or on line on Microsoft Teams
