Prerequisites
It is assumed that the student has a sufficient baggage of physics and chemistry, to enable the understanding of physiological functions.
It is essential to have completed the first year of the degree and to have acquired knowledge of Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Morphology I and Structure and Function of the Nervous System.
It is important to attend simultaneously subjects such as Morphology II, some of which are complementary to those of the Physiology course.
Objectives and Contextualisation
The objective of the subject is to achieve sufficient knowledge of the functions of the different organs and systems and to be able to understand and explain how they work coordinately to cope with the challenges the animals face. The specific objectives are to know and understand.
1 - The functions of blood, hemostasis, hemodynamics and regulation of the cardiovascular system.
2 - The functions of the respiratory system and the renal system and their relation to the regulation of pH of physiological fluids and hydroelectrolytic equilibrium.
3 - The functions of the endocrine system as a regulator of the energy and intermediate metabolism and of the adaptations of the organism in the mid and long terms.
4 - The reproductive function in males and females and its regulation.
5 - The digestive function and the adaptations of the digestive system to dietary conditions and to the presence of microbiota.
6 - The immune system, the tolerance of self-structures and the innate and adaptive defensive responses of the organism.
This subject should provide the basis for detecting, evaluating, understanding and treating the pathological situations that the clinical veterinarian faces in his/her professional activity. It should also be the basis for understanding concepts that will be explained later, such as those related to nutrition and animal production, and the basis of pahrmacological action.

Learning Outcomes

- Apply scientific method to professional practice, including medicine
- Define the properties of innate and adaptive immune response and defend clonal selection theory: a lymphocyte, an antigen receptor.
- Demonstrate knowledge of English to communicate both orally and in writing in academic and professional contexts.

The teaching methodology will involve classical face-to-face lectures.
Mandatory sessions of laboratory practice and microscopy are also scheduled. Mandatory workshops and seminars on cases, problem solving and data interpretation will be held in small groups in order provide the students a closer approach to real clinical situations, to enhance their analytical skills and to promote an integrative approach to practical applications and inference of physiological concepts. At the end of the seminars, students will be required to complete short evaluable activities. Classroom evaluation tests cannot be retaken.
- Students will be required to work on practical cases which will be discussed in mandatory mentoring sessions.
Students who wish to waive continuous assessment tests and prefer to take a single comprehensive exam of the subject, shall declare their option in due time.
This single exam will combine questions from the entire syllabus and will be divided into 2 blocks (immunology and physiology) each ofwhich will have to be passed with a grade higherthan 5/10.
Development and/or case resolution questions will be included in the exam to assess the various skills related to discursive skills, the use of technical language, etc. In this exam, the relative weight
of the development questions will be 20% of the grade for the physiology block. Taking this choice does not obviate attendance to practical works and seminars
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

A multifactorial evaluation system has been proposed in order to:
- Guarantee the achievement of a good level of knowledge and skills.
- Assess the continuous work throughout the course through various tests and tasks
- Stimulate a continuous work on the subject (many tasks, each with a small contribution to the final score).
- Provide students with useful tools to integrate the knowledge and opportunity to be aware of how good is their progress in learning.
- Make it possible to test all the skills that must be evaluated.
The most relevant aspects of the evaluation system set for the 2024-25 course are listed below:
The weight of the Immunology block is 25% and that of the Physiology block is 75% of the final score. However,the blocks of Immunology and Physiology must be passed separately with a minimum mark of 5,00 / 10 in each one.

EACH OF THE BLOCKS - IMMUNOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY - MUST BE PASSED SEPARATELY AND THE SCORES IN BOTH BLOCKS CAN ONLY BE AVERAGED IF THE MINIMUM SCORE REQUIRED IN EACH BLOCK IS EXCEEDED.
Those who fail the first attempt can take “second chance tests” schedduled by the end of june or early July. If due to personal or special circumstances a student cannot take the test(s) in the scheduled dates, oral exams would be the preferred alternative option.
Students who wish to waive continuous assessment tests and prefer to take a single comprehensive exam of the subject, shall declare their option in due time. This single exam will combine questions from the entire syllabus and will be divided into 2 blocks (immunology and physiology) each ofwhich will have to be passed with a grade higherthan 5/10. Development and/or case resolution questions will be included in the exam to assess the various skills related to discursive skills, the use of technical language, etc. In this exam, the relative weight of the development questions will be 20% of the grade for the physiology block.
