Fisiology II

Understanding and interpretation of the functions and normal functioning of organs and systems.

THEORETICAL CLASSES AIM AT THE DETAILED PRESENTATION OF THE SYLLABUS. IN THEM, AN ACTIVE METHODOLOGY IS USED, APPEALING FOR THE DIRECT INTERVENTION OF STUDENTS. THUS IT IS INTENDED THAT STUDENTS ASSIMIMATE PHYSIOLOGY IN AN INTEGRATED WAY AND WITH AN OVERALL VIEW.

THE ESSENTIAL GOALS ARE LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF KNOWLEDGE APPLICATION OF HUMAN
PHYSIOLOGY, ON A MODERN PERSPECTIVE AND PRACTICAL UTILITY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL FUTURE OF
STUDENTS COMPLETING THIS DEGREE.
THE CAPABILITIES THAT WE INTEND TO DEVELOP ARE ON A LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING AND
INTERPRETATION OF FUNCTIONS AND NORMAL OPERATION OF ORGANS AND SYSTEMS.
ON THIS MEASURE A PROGRAM OF THE DISCIPLINE WAS DESIGNED TO FILL THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE NEEDS
IN PHYSIOLOGY THAT DIFFER SAFE AND ADMITTEDLY, FROM THE CLASSIC PROGRAMS OF THIS DISCIPLINE.
THE CLINICAL CONTEXT OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CONCEPTS WILL ALSO BE A CONSTANT AND PERMANENT
REALITY THROUGHOUT THE VARIOUS SUBJECTS OF THE COURSE, BECAUSE WE CONSIDER IT OF GREAT
RELEVANCE AND EFFECTIVE AND PRACTICAL INTEREST FOR STUDENTS.
