Syllabus
The course will provide knowledge to understand the main mechanisms regulating cellular functions and excitability; to understand the functions of the different organs of the human body, their dynamic integration in the apparatus and the general homeostatic mechanisms. The course will also provides notions on the four aspects of a disease process that form the core of Pathology: the cause (etiology), the mechanisms of its development (pathogenesis), the structural alterations induced in the cells and organs of the body (morphologic changes), and the functional consequences of the morphologic changes (clinical significance).
