Syllabus
Course Objectives
Human Pathophysiology studies the vital functions of man under normal conditions and in the course of alteration and analyzes how the living organism obtains and maintains the homeostasis of its internal medium at the molecular, cellular and tissue level, in the context of changes in the environment. surrounding. It also deals with the mechanisms by which drugs intervene in cellular and tissue functioning.
The objective of the Pathophysiology Course will therefore be to provide students with all the information necessary to understand, from a biophysical-quantitative point of view, the operating modes of the various organs and systems of the organism in normal conditions as well as their control by of the central and autonomic nervous system and of the endocrine system
The course is divided into three modules:
1. Physiology
2. General Pathology
3. Pharmacology

Course Prerequisites
To take the final exam of Human Physiopathology it is necessary, on the basis of the prerequisites provided for by the didactic regulations, to have previously passed the Human Anatomy exam.

Assessment Methods
The assessment of the achievement of the objectives set by the Course requires a final exam on all the topics included in the program.
The exams corresponding to the various modules of the integrated course will be carried out in a single day at different times which will be communicated by the course president at the end of each session, through the ESSE3 system.
In detail:
The exam relating to the Human Physiology module consists of a test carried out by computer support (PC) comprising 40 multiple choice questions to be completed in 45 minutes, with a score of 0.825 points for each correct answer and 0 points for each answer wrong or missing. Sufficiency is reached with a score of 18/30
The exam relating to the General Pathology module consists of a written test with 33 multiple choice questions to be completed in 40 minutes. 1 point is awarded if all the answers to the question are correct and zero points if even one answer to the question is wrong. No points will be deducted for incorrect answers. Sufficiency is reached with a score of 18/30
The questions of the Human Physiology and General Pathology tests aim to define:
- knowledge and understanding of physiological and pathological mechanisms,
- the ability to apply knowledge and understanding,
- the ability to learn the topics covered in the two aggregate courses.
The exam relating to the Pharmacology module consists of an oral interview of about 15 minutes on the contents of the module. In formulating the judgment, the teacher takes into account, in addition to the correctness and completeness of the answer, also the following:
- clarity of presentation,
- ownership of the terminology used,
- ability to connect and process the acquired knowledge.
The overall score of the Human Physiopathology exam is obtained as the average of the evaluations obtained from the three single tests of Human Physiology, General Pathology and Pharmacology
The student can decide to take the exam of a single course in one session and take the other tests in subsequent sessions. The outcome of this test will be kept valid until the last exam session of the current academic year and the final mark will be registered when all the tests have been passed.
