Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2020-21

Esta asignatura se impartirá en el primer semestre del segundo curso del Grado en Nutrición Humana y Dietética. La Fisiopatología relaciona el funcionamiento normal del cuerpo con los cambios fisiológicos que se producen con la enfermedad y la capacidad del organismo para adaptarse a esos cambios. Para poder comprender bien la asignatura, el estudiante, previamente, debe haber superado otras materias con contenidos relacionados, que son impartidas con anterioridad como:Fisiología humana, Anatomía humana, Biología y Bioquímica.
Por otro lado, la Fisiopatología abarca aspectos relacionados con los procesos desencadenantes de las enfermedades de los distintos aparatos y/o sistemas que posteriormente servirán de base para abordar los contenidos en el tratamiento nutricional de distintas patologías que se verán en dietoterapia y nutrición clínica,  siendo un puente de unión entre la patologia y su abordaje desde el punto de vista dietético nutricional, tanto en las asignaturas teóricas como en el prácticum.
