The student must be able to demonstrate the knowledge regarding the structural organization of the human body, at the macroscopic level and the topographical relationships among the organs, correlating them with their function, providing a rational basis on which the student will base his or her practical activity.
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)
