FISIOLOGIA UMANA - PATOLOGIA UMANA E TERMINOLOGIA MEDICAModule PATOLOGIA UMANA E TERMINOLOGIA MEDICA
Academic Year 2024/2025 - Teacher: KATIA DOMENICA MANGANOExpected Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course the student will understand the underlying
causes and pathogenetic mechanisms of human diseases, as well as the
etiology of the fundamental alterations of the structures, functions and
mechanisms of control. They will also know the basic biological
mechanisms of defence and their alterations. The course will develop
from the molecular level to higher grades of organization (cell, tissue,
organ, apparatus, organism)
