Learning outcomes

The Human Physiology Course wants to provide basic knowledge of the functioning of tissues and organs of the human body. The main objective is to learn the functioning of the human body as a distributed set of different organs, organized in reciprocally interacting systems. At the end of the course, the student, in addition to the basic physiology notions, will be able to reason on the integration between cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal and digestive systems in managing the exchanges between the external environment and the internal environment and the homeostasis of the internal environment. By the end of the course students should be able to apply the new knowledge and analytical skills to the physiology of healthy subjects but also to pathology.
