| Educational objectives |
The main goal of education is to provide students with the basics in order to know the principles of the pathophysiology of the human body with special reference to the gastrointestinal functions and other systems that contribute to the absorption and metabolism of nutrients. The main knowledge gained will be: - Elements of pathophysiology cardiovascular, respiratory, renal and hematopoietic; - Principles of gastrointestinal pathophysiology with reference to the mechanisms of absorption and utilization of metabolites; - Energy assessment of fundamental metabolisms (carbohydrate, lipid, protein). The main skills are acquired: - Analyze the needs of the human food and nutrition; - Consider and know the main human diseases that may require special attention from a nutritional point of view; - Know the basis for the creation of healthy and balanced food in relation to different nutritional requirements and metabolic. |
| Prerequisites |
In order to understand and know how to apply most of the information and ideas presented by the teaching you have successfully passed the exams of Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry of Food and Nutritional Sciences. All this because during the lectures are expressed concepts that require elements of knowledge of the chemical composition of the human body, the functions of both enzyme complexes of organs and systems responsible for vital functions, the establishment of food and digestive- metabolic capacity of the gastrointestinal system. The knowledge provided by the materials mentioned above are indispensable for the student who wants to follow in the course with profit. |

Face-to-face lessons |
| Learning verification modality |
The readiness of the candidate will be determined by an oral test that will aim to assess the knowledge of the arguments in class and his ability to articulate a discourse that takes into account the interrelationships between the functions of the different systems, all with an appropriate terminology to the topics discussed. The test will take place at the end of the lecture series, will run for about 30 minutes and will be essentially a test stimulus in open conversation, in which the final measurement will be expressed by a vote of thirty. |
