The learning objectives of the course are the development of knowledge related to: the eye as an integrated organ and the related organs that allow it to function; the bases of circulation physiology, respiration and excretion. Students will also acquire the skills necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying the nervous and muscular activity of the eye.

The course is conducted through in-person classroom lectures.Attendance
To attend the course is strongly suggested.Type of evaluation
During the course, two written tests with 3 open-ended questions are scheduled. Each question is worth 10 points. The average score of the two tests represents the final grade. However, it is also possible to undergo a final evaluation by taking an oral exam covering the entire program.
