Learning outcomes

Students will acquire the fundamental notions about the life functions of healthy human beings, in order to understand the working of their organs and systems, of their regulation mechanisms and the main processes of integration and homeostatic control.

Program

BASIC PHYSIOLOGY
Principles of cell functions. Homeostasis of body fluids. Signal transduction - membrane receptors, second messengers and regulation of gene expression.

INTERCELLULAR COMMUNICATION

Classification of neural fibers.
Electrical and chemical synapses. Neurotransmitters and hormones.

NEUROPHYSIOLOGY
Sensory systems - Receptors and signal transduction. Receptors and afferent fibers for the processing of visual, auditory, tactile, proprioceptive, thermal and noxious stimuli. Central processing of sensory inputs. Pain.
Motor systems - Neuromuscular junction. Spinal reflexes.
