The aim of this course is to analyze the functioning of the nervous system, endocrine system, and digestive system, their physical-chemical principles and regulatory mechanisms; as well as the interrelation that exists among them.
The aim of this course is for students to apply their knowledge of the physiology of the cardiovascular system, renal system, and respiratory system on live and/or simulated models, using the scientific method in the development of experimental protocols.
The aim of this course is to analyze the functioning of the cardiovascular system, renal system, respiratory system, and digestive system, their physical-chemical principles, regulatory mechanisms; as well as the interrelation existing among them.
This course aims to analyze the metabolic processes of the human body, their interrelations, their regulatory mechanisms, their alterations and their implications in medicine.
The aim of this course is for students to understand the structure and functions of the essential components of the organism (water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids, and vitamins) and the cellular metabolic mechanisms that lead to energy production, as well as their application in medicine.
The aim of this course is for students to: (1) Learn to select the most appropriate statistical method to solve major problems that come up when doing research work in nutrition and the health sciences. (2) Learn and be able to apply and interpret the main statistical tests for the comparison of means and proportions, including parametric and nonparametric procedures, matched or independent designs. (3) Acquire skills in the use of statistical programs for data analysis and result presentation.
The aim of this course is for students to: (1) Analyze the structure and functions of the different elements of a cell, their interrelations in the processes that form part of the cell cycle and their role in intacellular homeostasis or in disorders that result in the malfunctioning of systems. (2) Describe the normal microscopic structure of the tissues that form the organs of the systems in the human body and their application to medicine.
This course aims to describe the anatomical and functional details of the musculoskeletal, endocrine, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and male and female reproductive systems.
This course aims to provide students with the foundations to carry out a systematic, critical review of scientific literature. They wil apply the main methodological tools to the preparation and development of research projects for the purpose of acquiring skills and attitudes that will enable them to work as researchers in the different fields of nutrition.
This course aims to explain the structure and function of genetic material, the principles of Mendelian inheritance and multifactorial inheritance, and the impact of recent advances in the interaction between genetics and nutrition.
