Human Physiology course addresses the study of the principal systems anatomy and function. The main objective, since an integrative point of view, it is to build a general view about the body, its systems and regulation systems. The course is in the third year of the degree and contributes to the acquisition of basic knowledge for the following subjects: Metabolism and Its regulation, Immunology and Clinical Biochemistry. Besides, together with Molecular Pathology course during the same semester, enable an integrated learning of Human Physiology function and regulation.
To the profession provides theoretical and practical knowledge (laboratory), skills and basic skills for the professional development of a graduate in Biochemistry.
