Learning objectives
To understand the physico-chemical mechanisms of basic cellular processes: resting membrane polarization, action potential, synaptic communication, muscular contraction, stimuli transduction. To know the function of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, their regulation mechanisms and coordination in specific tasks like the homeostasis of the internal environment, the regulation of cardiac output, arterial pressure, respiration and acid-base balance, muscular exercise.
Prerequisites and basic notions
What is Physiology? Physiology tries to understand how organs and systems integrate and interact to maintain the human body's homeostasis at rest and in response to stresses like environmental conditions, exercise, and even diseases. Physiology is a quantitative science since it tries to explain the functional characteristics and the functioning of the human body based on universal physical-chemical laws. As such, dimensional and graphical analyses are routinely utilized in physiology to describe the relationships between the variables at stake. The ultimate goal of physiology is to describe using predictive models the integrated functions that relate to organs and systems. Physiology completes and combines the knowledge gained by studying anatomy, biochemistry, physics, and chemistry.
To understand the course of Physiology, you must have first assimilated the basics of Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry, and Mathematics, in particular:
• Chemistry: pH, molarity, colligative properties of solutions, osmolality and osmotic pressure, diffusion.
• Biochemistry: biological macromolecules, their classification and function, the main metabolic pathways, enzyme kinetics, and mitochondrial enzymes.
• Physics: physics of gases, electro-physics, surface tension, Laplace's law, the basics of mechanics, statics and dynamics of fluids, laws of thermodynamics.
• Biology: biophysical characteristics of the cell membrane; transport mechanisms through the membrane; mechanisms of cell regeneration.
• Mathematics: the concept of the logarithm, the concept of function and axes, functions, linear, power, exponential; methods of manipulation of logarithms, the concepts of derivative and integral; units of the international system.

To understand the physico-chemical mechanisms of basic cellular processes: resting membrane polarization, action potential, synaptic communication, muscular contraction, stimuli transduction. To know the function of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, their regulation mechanisms and coordination in specific tasks like the homeostasis of the internal environment, the regulation of cardiac output, arterial pressure, respiration and acid-base balance, muscular exercise.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
The teaching will consist of lectures. In addition to the lessons, at the end of each topic, multiple choice quizzes will be organized (https://kahoot.com). Furthermore, recorded lectures (in Italian and English) will be available on specific topics.
Practical activities in the classroom.
Practical activities and simulations of respiratory physiology and muscle exercise will be organized in front of the students in the classroom
Teaching materials
All class course materials will be available on the student teacher's page/course and appear on the University's e-Learning (Moodle) space. In addition to the slides in pdf format illustrated in class, the following material will be distributed:
1. Excel sheets with numerical questions that the students will be able to carry out independently;
2. In-depth study of specific topics;
3. Links to films and videos on scientific topics related to the topics covered.
If students need make-up lessons because of COVID quarantine, the teacher will deliver the lesson recording or organize a remote lecture with individual Zoom videoconference during the lesson time.
Learning assessment procedures
Oral examination on each of the three main topics (excitable membranes and skeletal muscle, cardiovascular system, respiratory system), with one question by each of three examiners, or two questions by each of two, depending on availability. There will not be intermediate examinations nor specific modalities for the not-attending students.
Evaluation criteria
The student will be asked to illustrate the main concepts related to the topics detailed in the program also with the aid of graphs and equations in order to highlight the quantitative aspects of physiology. Exposure skills and clarity of exposure will be evaluated, as well as the ability to quantitatively illustrate the mechanisms that regulate the physiological homeostasis of organs and systems. In particular, the student's ability to reason in an integrative way and, therefore, to illustrate the integrated physiological adaptations in response to perturbations will be appreciated.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The examiner will propose a mark in 30/30, which will result in a weighted average according to the CFU of the two modules and the mark of 30/30 proposed by the professor of the other module.

Opzioni (cambio di ordinamento)
Studenti iscritti alla classe LM/41 (Classe delle lauree magistrali in medicina e chirurgia)
Il MUR, con nota prot. n. 8610 del 25/3/2020 avente oggetto: “Abilitazione all’esercizio della professione di Medico-Chirurgo - art. 102 - Decreto legge 17 marzo 2020 n. 18 (convertito con modificazioni dalla L. 24 aprile 2020, n. 27), dispone l’adeguamento dell’ordinamento della classe LM/41 alle normative citate in oggetto.
Coloro i quali hanno concluso/concluderanno il tirocinio pratico-valutativo pre-lauream con giudizio di idoneità (ai sensi del DM 58/2018), conseguita la laurea, sono abilitati all’esercizio della professione di medico-chirurgo e possono procedere all’iscrizione presso l’Ordine dei Medici.
Rilascio del titolo di abilitazione
Ai fini del rilascio dell’abilitazione professionale è richiesto il pagamento delle seguenti tasse:
- tassa erariale pari a € 49,90 da versarsi prima che inizi la frequenza del tirocinio pratico valutativo
- tassa regionale di abilitazione da versarsi all’atto della consegna del titolo di abilitazione.
Studenti iscritti alla classe 46/S (Classe delle lauree specialistiche in medicina e chirurgia) e ordinamenti previgenti (attualmente fuori corso) oppure studenti iscritti alla classe LM/41 con coorti antecedenti alla coorte 2014 (attualmente fuori corso).
Il MUR, con nota prot. n. 8610 del 25/3/2020 avente oggetto: “Abilitazione all’esercizio della professione di Medico-Chirurgo - art. 102 - Decreto legge 17 marzo 2020 n. 18” dispone che, gli iscritti agli ordinamenti previgenti, con tirocinio pratico previsto post – laurea (ai sensi del DM 445/2001), ferme restando le norme sulla decadenza dagli studi, possono concludere il percorso di studio senza dovere necessariamente acquisire, ai fini dell’ammissione all’esame finale di laurea, il giudizio di idoneità del suddetto tirocinio pratico valutativo. In tal caso il diploma di laurea che rilascerà l’Ateneo avrà la sola valenza di titolo accademico. Resterà ferma, in ogni caso la possibilità per tali soggetti di conseguire eventualmente l’abilitazione all’esercizio della professione di medico-chirurgo in un momento successivo, secondo le modalità di cui al comma 2 dell’art.102, cioè conseguendo la valutazione del tirocinio prescritta dal D.M. n. 445/2001. L’Ateneo continuerà a predisporre un separato diploma di abilitazione.
Si ricorda che ai suddetti studenti è in ogni caso consentita l’opzione al nuovo ordinamento secondo i termini e le modalità previste.
