	Objectives
	THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE THE STUDENT WITH KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO THE FUNCTIONING OF THE HUMAN BODY AT THE LEVEL OF INTEGRATION OF ORGANS AND SYSTEMS AND OF THE INTEGRATED MECHANISMS OF HOMEOSTATIC CONTROL BOTH IN PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS AND IN CONDITIONS OF PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL ALTERATIONS. A FURTHER OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE THE STUDENT WITH KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO THE PHYSIOLOGY OF NUTRITION AND THE WAYS IN WHICH THE HUMAN ORGANISM RESPONDS IN AN INTEGRATED MANNER TO DIFFERENT NUTRITIONAL CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REGULATION OF ENERGY BALANCE AND CELLULAR AND TISSUE METABOLISM. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING RELATING TO THE INTEGRATION OF THE DIFFERENT ORGANS AND SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN ORGANISM IN CONTRIBUTING TO THE MAINTENANCE OF THE HOMEOSTASIS OF SOME VITAL PARAMETERS, SUCH AS THE CONTROL OF BLOOD PRESSURE, THERMOREGULATION, THE CONTROL OF BLOOD SUGAR AND OTHER NUTRIENTS SUCH AS CALCIUM AND PHOSPHORUS. THE STUDENT WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLE AND INTEGRATION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM, NERVOUS SYSTEM, GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM AND ADIPOSE TISSUE IN THE CONTROL OF THE BODY'S ENERGY BALANCE AND NUTRIENT METABOLISM, AS WELL AS THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH FUNCTIONAL ALTERATIONS UNDERLYING THE PATHOLOGIES ASSOCIATED WITH OBESITY. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING : THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO UNDERSTAND ISSUES RELATING TO THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THE DYSFUNCTIONS OF ORGANS AND SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PATHOLOGIES, FOR EXAMPLE CONNECTED TO THE ALTERATION OF ENERGY HOMEOSTASIS AND THEREFORE TO STATE OF OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY. FURTHERMORE, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ACQUIRED TO EVALUATE THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF AN INDIVIDUAL AND PREPARE A NUTRITIONAL PLAN SUITABLE FOR PHYSIOPATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT: THE COURSE AIMS TO ENABLE THE STUDENT TO ACQUIRE THE ABILITY TO INDEPENDENTLY AND CRITICALLY ANALYZE ISSUES IN THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND NUTRITIONAL FIELDS, FOCUSING ON THE FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS FOR THE CORRECT FUNCTIONING OF PHYSIOLOGICAL HOMEOSTASIS AND IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEMS OF MALFUNCTION THAT CAN LEAD TO DYSMETABOLIC PATHOLOGIES. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD CONVERSATIONS ON THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED, PRESENTING IT CLEARLY AND WITH APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE. LEARNING ABILITY: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: -USE TRADITIONAL AND MULTIMEDIA BIBLIOGRAPHIC TOOLS TO DEEPEN ONE'S KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS -FORMULATE AN EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH QUESTION IN THE FIELD OF SYSTEMS PHYSIOLOGY AND NUTRITION -USE IT TOOLS TO DEVELOP NUTRITIONAL PLANS TO MAINTAIN THE CORRECT METABOLIC AND ENERGETIC HOMEOSTASIS OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

	Verification of learning
	THE EXAM CONSISTS OF AN ORAL TEST THAT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE END OF THE COURSE IN THE EXAM SESSIONS SCHEDULED IN THE TEACHING CALENDAR. THE ORAL EXAM LASTING ABOUT 30 MINUTES INCLUDES ORAL PRESENTATION RELATED TO THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE OF BOTH MODULE 1 AND MODULE 2. THE ORAL EXAM IS ORGANIZED IN THREE PARTS. THE FIRST PART CONCERNS THE VERIFICATION OF THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO THE FUNCTIONING OF INTEGRATED SYSTEMS WHICH, THROUGH THE CONTROL OF PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS, ALLOW THE MAINTENANCE OF HOMEOSTASIS (MODULE 1). THE SECOND PART CONCERNS THE VERIFICATION OF THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO THE CONCEPTS OF NUTRITION PHYSIOLOGY AND NEEDS IN TERMS OF ENERGY AND NUTRIENTS (MODULE 2) AND BODY WEIGHT REGULATION (MODULE 1). THE THIRD PART CONCERNS THE VERIFICATION OF THE ACQUISITION OF PRACTICAL SKILLS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND BODY COMPOSITION. (MODULE 2) THE TEST IS ALSO AIMED AT VERIFYING THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND PHYSIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS AND TO EXPLAIN THEM WITH ADEQUATE LANGUAGE SKILLS. THE MINIMUM VOTE (18/30) IS ATTRIBUTED TO STUDENTS WHO SHOW A SUPERFICIAL KNOWLEDGE, A LIMITED UNDERSTANDING OF THE THEORETICAL CONTENTS AND A SUFFICIENT PRESENTATION ABILITY. THE MAXIMUM MARK (30/30) IS ATTRIBUTED TO STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY HAVE DEEPENED THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE AND WHO DEMONSTRATE AN EXCELLENT LOGICAL-DEDUCTIVE ABILITY IN THE AUTONOMOUS EVALUATION OF SIMPLE PHYSIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS AND OF THE PHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THE DEVELOPMENT OF PATHOLOGIES ASSOCIATED WITH ALTERATIONS OF HOMEOSTASIS. EXCELLENCE REQUIRES HAVING DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY TO CRITICALLY DISCUSS THE TOPICS WITH EXCELLENT EXPOSITORY MASTERY, AUTONOMOUSLY MAKING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE VARIOUS TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE WHICH CONTRIBUTE OVERALL TO THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE PHYSIOLOGICAL COMPLEXITY OF THE REGULATION AND HOMEOSTATIC CONTROLS RELATING TO SYSTEMS PHYSIOLOGY AND NUTRITION.
