Objectives: At the end of the course, students will have to know the physiological basis of excitable cells, muscle physiology, as well as heart and respiratory system. The study of these systems will be carried out considering their adaptations in response to variations in internal and external environment of the organism. Specific objectives: 1. Knowledge and understanding Students will have to show knowledge of general functioning, feedback regulation systems and the main molecular and cellular mechanisms target of pharmacological treatments of the muscular, cardiac and respiratory systems. 2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding Students will have to show that they are able to apply the knowledge acquired to predict the most relevant relationships between the cardiac, respiratory and muscular systems to maintain homeostasis and the main consequences of functional alterations in an integrated view. 3. Autonomy of judgment The lessons will be interactive. The teacher will ask continuous questions to students to stimulate the critical sense and integrate their previous knowledge. These questions will also serve to induce students to establish links between the notions acquired during the lessons in an integrated and critical view of Human Physiology. 4. Communication skills The ability of students and female students to present the topics covered in the program with appropriate terms and speeches will be carefully evaluated. They will have to be able to describe the topics covered in an orderly and organically way, managing both to give a detailed view of the functioning of the physiological systems studied and an overall view of the relationship between them. 5. Learning skills Students will be taught to critically integrate and memorize the most important notions derived from multiple sources of study, including those received in class and those read in the recommended texts and resources available on the WEB and in scientific literature.
