Nursing REPLICA C-AZIENDA POLICLINICO UMBERTO I

Homeostasis: internal and external environment - liquid compartments - homeostatic mechanisms (positive and negative feedback) Membrane properties: the plasma membrane, transport through the plasma membrane: membrane transporters, forces that drive the transport through the membrane (chemical force, electric force), passive and active membrane transport, ion movement through the membrane, resting membrane potential, osmosis, tonicity Nervous system: organization of the nervous system, neuroglia cells (astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, ependymal cells), neurons, ion channels (dependent voltage, ligand-dependent), genesis of electrical signals (resting potential, action potential), myelin functions, synapses, neurotransmitters, spinal reflexes. Skeletal muscular system: cellular and molecular structure, sarcomere, muscle contraction, neuromuscular junction, excitation-contraction coupling Respiratory system: functions of the respiratory system, airways, pleura, pulmonary pressures, surfactant, surface tension, Laplace law, pulmonary mechanics (inhalation, exhalation), Boyle's law, pulmonary ventilation, alveolar ventilation, chemoreceptors and nervous control of respiration. Composition of atmospheric air, Dalton's law, respiratory membrane, factors that regulate gaseous exchange at the alveolar level, transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide, gaseous exchanges at the tissue level. Cardiovascular system: Blood: Functions and composition of blood, blood groups Heart: heart muscle, heart valves, myocardial excitation and impulse conduction (auto rhythmic cells - pacemakers, conduction system, cardiac action potential and action potential propagation ), cardiac cycle, electrocardiogram, cardiac output, nervous control of cardiac output Circulatory system: systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation, forces regulating blood flow (pressure gradient and resistance), functions of the arterial and venous system, vasomotor tone, venous return , capillary functions (capillary exchange-filtration and absorption), arterial pressure (systolic-diastolic), baroreceptors, nervous and renal control of blood pressure. Renal system: main renal functions, nephron, glomerular ultrafiltration, resorption and tubular secretions, hyperosmoticity of the renal medullary interstitium, concentration of urine (aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone), control of arterial pressure by the renin-angiotensin system. Digestive system: motor and secretory functions. Liver and biliary function. Exocrine and endocrine functions of the pancreas.

Indispensable: knowledge of Cellular Biology, Human Anatomy, Physics, and General Chemistry is indispensable Important: the acquisition of principles of Biochemistry is important Useful: it is useful to have some knowledge of Pharmacology

In the event of a stay in the state of emergency due to the pandemic from Covid 19, the lessons will be streamed on the Google Meet platform ) All information will be advertised on the e-learning page of the course. The teaching of Human Physiology consists of lectures with the students, eventually with some specific seminars. The lessons are all interactive, so the teacher stimulates the students with questions to which they, by virtue of the courses already followed, can give an answer. This allows the teacher to highligth the links between the current course and some previous courses, whose notions play a key role in the understanding of what is proposed in the class. The continuous reminding to concepts of previous courses must get the student used to not studying the proposed subject as something closed, aimed at passing the final exam, to be filed immediately afterwards, but wants to highlight a multidisciplinary study, to which the student has to be educated, and that is absolutely required for a master's degree student, now almost at the end of his training. The student will find on the e-learning platform teaching material (exam program, recommended texts, links) useful for the preparation of the exam. It is understood that all material is a guide to the exam topics, but they can never absolutely replace the recommended texts.

In order to prove their attendance, at each lesson students will be required to provide their signature in the attendance sheet

The method for evaluating the acquired knowledge is characterized by oral exam sessions set in the scheduled exam sessions (2 for each session; plus some extraordinary exam sessions).
