Medicine and Surgery

General Objectives At the end of the course, students must know the function of the organs in the human body; the dynamical integration of the various organs into systems; the general mechanisms of functional control under normal conditions; the normal values of the main functional parameters in healthy humans; the medical application of biophysical and biotechnological principles. They must also know some of the techniques used to measure physiological parameters. Specific Objectives Knowledge and understanding: passing the exam guarantees the understanding of the function of the organs in the human body; the dynamical integration of the various organs into systems; the general mechanisms of functional control under normal conditions; the normal values of the main functional parameters in healthy humans. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: passing the exam guarantees the ability to understand the normal values of the main functional parameters in healthy humans underlying the pathological processes in the biomedical field; the medical application of biophysical and biotechnological principles; ability to know and apply some of the techniques used to measure physiological parameters Autonomy of judgment: passing the exam implies the ability to critically judge the normal values of the main functional parameters in healthy humans, underlying diseases. Communication skills: passing the exam implies the ability to effectively use the communication tools of publications and scientific communications. Learning skills: passing the exam implies the transversal learning capacity common to the logic of scientific investigation in the biomedical field.
