Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2024-25

La asignatura forma parte del módulo de conocimiento de morfología, estructura y función del cuerpo humano. La asignatura se imparte en el primer semestre del primer curso del Grado en Medicina. La Fisiología General y Biofísica estudia las bases del funcionamiento de los seres vivos, a nivel celular y molecular, utilizando las leyes y principios de la Física y de la Química. Es, por tanto, una asignatura básica, sobre la que se fundamenta la Fisiología Medica, esencial para poder entender el funcionamiento normal del cuerpo humano. Se recomienda el conocimiento de las asignaturas de Biología, de Física y de Química de Bachillerato.
