Physiology

Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:

• Know the basic principles of homeostasis that are central to Physiology and the mechanisms that regulate them
• Know and understand the basic mechanisms of cell communication at the intercellular and multicellular level
• Know and understand how molecular mechanisms and cellular functions through clear causal sequences are integrated for the coordinated systems functioning and homeostasis of the organism
• Know and compare the functions of differentiated cell types of the body, as well as link their function to systemic physiology and specialized function
• Know and develop the basic principles of neuronal and hormonal communication
• Know and understand the functions of the mammalian nervous, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, digestive and reproductive systems
• Understand and analyze endocrine regulation of metabolism and development
• Compose around the central idea of ​​homeostasis concepts and information from the cellular to the systemic level
• Reflect, analyze and interpret physiological or pathophysiological responses
• Understand, through the introduction of new ideas and modern hypotheses, the rapid progress and dynamic nature of Physiology as a science and propose new methodological approaches based on developments in the field of Molecular Biology
