The main goals of this course are:
i) supply a strong and up-to-date knowledge on the bases of animal cell functions,
ii) develop the student’s knowledge on the dynamic integration of general functions into organs, systems and apparatuses,
iii) introduce the mechanisms of control of functions in healthy organisms,
iv) supply the students with the tools necessary to approach the study of complexity and emergent proprieties of functions,
v) develop student’s critical approach to experimental data and ability to problem solving.
