Learning outcomes |
Provide students with in-depth knowledge of the endocrine and metabolic system through an integrated approach to the anatomy, physiology, histology, embryology and biochemistry of this system.
At the end of the course unit the learner is expected to be able to
- integrate the knowledge of endocrinology with those acquired in previous periods of their training, cellular and molecular mechanisms;
- describe the microscopic and macroscopic morphology of the endocrine system and its embryonic development;
- characterize the endocrine system relating the chemical structure of hormones with the functions they perform.
- interpret the action of hormones in the regulation of carbohydrates, lipids and nitrogen compounds metabolism and calcium and phosphorus homeostasis;
- interpret clinical problems related to the endocrine system functioning;
- work in team in the resolution of problems and in the acquisition of knowledge.
