The teaching is organized as follows:

Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the knowledge of biology, biochemistry and genetics necessary for understanding the physiological and pathological processes related to the health and disease of individuals in different age groups. Biological and biochemical knowledge will contribute to the acquisition of skills aimed at promoting the adoption of practices that improve the health status of the person and nursing assistance To complete the course the student will have acquired: basic knowledge of organic chemistry and biochemistry on the structure-function relationships of the main classes of macromolecules biological, on the metabolic regulation at the molecular level and the energy transformations of the biochemical processes; knowledge of cellular and genetic biology related to the structural, functional and molecular characteristics of the cell; understanding of the applications of genomic knowledge to medicine. to understand cellular processes common to all living organisms and in particular the basic mechanisms that regulate metabolic activity, reproduction and cellular interactions and the mechanisms of transmission of genetic diseases in humans. BIOCHEMISTRY MODULE: The course aims to provide: - basic knowledge of general and organic chemistry preparatory to biochemistry. - knowledge on the structure-function relationships of the main classes of biological macromolecules and on metabolic regulation at the molecular level. - knowledge on the interconnections existing between the different biochemical processes and the energy transformations connected to them. At the end of the course the student / student must demonstrate to have acquired terminologies and notions useful for a critical analysis of the vital biochemical processes in order to achieve autonomy of critical and global evaluation of the processes themselves. APPLIED BIOLOGY MODULE: The course aims to provide the basic knowledge of biology and human genetics describing in particular the basic principles on which the biology is based, the structural, functional and molecular characteristics of the cellular processes common to all living organisms, the transmission of hereditary traits and the molecular basis of genetic diseases, while developing an appropriate language. In particular, aspects of human biology of particular biomedical interest will be highlighted during the course. At the end of the course the student will be able to understand the mechanisms that regulate life, cell reproduction, interactions between cells and to recognize the different modes of transmission of Mendelian characters and genetic diseases in humans. Essential information to deal with the subsequent teachings that the student will meet during the course of study.The course aims to provide the knowledge of biology, biochemistry and genetics necessary for understanding the physiological and pathological processes related to the health and disease of individuals in different age groups.
