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.
The aim of this course is to describe the anatomical and functional systems that make up the human body: the integumentary system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, the lymph system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, and the urinary system, as well as their interaction with one another.
The aim of this course is for students to: (1) Become acquainted with the macroscopic and and functional morpphology of the oral cavity and describe the interactions between form, structure, and function of the stomatognathic system. (2) Acquire practical abilities in the modeling and reconstruction of dental pieces.
This course aims to explain how the structural , functional, and molecular elements of the immune system respond to internal and external attacks.
The aim of this course is for students to apply the methods and techniques used in medical microbiology for the isolation and identification of the main infectious agents pathogenic to man from clinical specimens and carry out research applied to real-life environments.
