The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning objectives
Teaching aims to provide knowledge of human biology in an evolutionary vision with particular reference to the molecular and cellular processes common to all living organisms, to raise awareness of the structures and functions of biological macromolecules and the main metabolic pathways in which they are involved. The student should be able to explain the cellular mechanisms underlying the functioning of the whole organism and grasp the pathogenic meaning of any alterations of them; it should also be able to recognize the different ways in which Mendelian characters are transmitted in humans. BIOCHEMICAL MODULE Training objectives: The course aims to present the relationship between the structure and function of biological macromolecules and the main metabolic pathways in which they are involved. The key objective is to stimulate the student's interest in biomolecular sciences by giving maximum prominence to the interconnections between biochemical processes and the energy variations associated with them. At the end of the teaching, students will have to demonstrate that they have acquired terminology and useful knowledge for a critical analysis of vital biochemical processes in order to achieve autonomy of critical and comprehensive evaluation of the processes themselves. APPLIED BIOLOGY MODULE Training objective: Providing knowledge of human biology in an evolutionary vision with particular reference to the molecular and cellular processes common to all living organisms. Provide knowledge about the mutagenic action of chemical and physical agents. Provide knowledge about the transmission of hereditary characters. The student should be able to explain the cellular mechanisms underlying the functioning of the whole organism and grasp the pathogenic meaning of any alterations of them; students must also be able to recognize the different ways in which Mendelian characters are transmitted in humans. At the end of the teaching, students will have to demonstrate that they have acquired the basic knowledge of the mechanisms that govern life and cell reproduction, the interactions between cells, between organisms and between organisms and the environment. They will also need to demonstrate to have acquired knowledge about the mechanisms of transmission of hereditary characters and will have to be able to recognize how genetic diseases are transmitted in humans, particularly those relating to tooth development and structure. These basic knowledge is a prerequisite for further specialist insights that will be the subject of teachings in the following years of the Course.
Prerequisites and basic notions
There are no specific prerequisites beyond the knowledge required for access to the course of study, verified at the time of the admission test. Students who do not reach the minimum score thresholds set out in the admission announcement in the admission test will be assigned Additional Training Obligations (OFA) to be fulfilled by the deadline indicated in the admission announcement, according to the methods suggested by the professors of the disciplines involved.
Bibliography
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The exam consists of two written tests (multiple choice quizzes, open questions), one for each module, based on the teaching content of the entire course, which must be passed in the exam sessions of the same exam session. Within a single exam session, the student may withdraw at any stage, thereby cancelling the partial credit for the current exam. However, if all two exam tests have not been passed at the end of the session, all partial credit will be cancelled, and it will be necessary to repeat all the tests in a subsequent session. The grade for each test is expressed in thirtieths. The exam is considered passed if the student receives a positive grade (≥ 18/30) on both tests. The final grade for verbalisation is based on the weighted average of the results of the individual tests.
