Competencies and objectives
Course context for academic year 2025-26
La Fisiopatología es una rama de la medicina, directamente relacionada con la Fisiología, que se dedica al estudio de los mecanismos que originan las diferentes enfermedades y la forma en la que las funciones normales cambian en una persona enferma, lo cual permite explicar los síntomas y las manifestaciones que los acompañan.
La importancia de esta rama del conocimiento radica en que estudiar los mecanismos que desencadenan las enfermedades permite tratar a estas últimas desde el punto de vista de las causas que las originan y no solo atendiendo al control de los síntomas.
Esta asignatura se impartirá en el primer semestre del segundo curso del Grado en Nutrición Humana y Dietética y servirá de base para abordar los contenidos del tratamiento nutricional de distintas patologías, los cuales se verán en otras asignaturas como "Dietoterapia" y "Nutrición clínica".
