Physiology of Integrated Systems I

The course is aimed to enhance knowledge in the functional integration of organ systems for the maintenance of body homeostasis. In particular, the course is designed to address the aspects of development and plasticity of those integrated systems involved.

By the end of the course the students will be able:
- to recognize the role played by the different physiological systems in the body's integrated responses;
- to apply this knowledge to understand the disease onset mechanisms that may allow the identification of new therapeutic targets.
