Biopathology
Objectives
This course aims to contribute to the understanding of the general mechanisms of disease in order to allow an understanding of the nutrition as an important factor in Human Pathology.
The study of Biopathology allows the understanding of the structural and functional alterations of the cells, tissues and organs with injuries.
The objective of this discipline is that, at the end of the semester, the student be able:
To know and understand the basic principles of disease (causes, mechanisms, cell injury and lesion processes);
To identify and interpret the morphological changes, the events tissue, cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for different types of pathology;
To understand medical vocabulary;
To know the contribution of nutrition in the genesis and disease prevention.

Prerequisites
This course has the prerequisite of knowledge of human anatomy, histology and embryology, physiology and genetics.
Bibliography
This course has the prerequisite of knowledge of human anatomy, histology and embryology, physiology and genetics.
Teaching method
The course is organized in theoretical and interactive seminars in order to be to explain concepts and demonstrate injury and illustrate the etiopathogenesis of the disease of the detailed theoretical written summaries posted before the respective seminars and the application knowledge of practical lessons by observing the macro and microscopic lesions and performing solving cases of clinical-pathological (centered on changes in nutrition and disease).
Lectures (2h / week)
Practical classes (2 hours / week) for the demonstration of the morphological lesions (tutorial observation under a microscope); training on individual observation of morphological lesions, using computer platforms; and application exercises and demonstration of knowledge in the form of clinical-pathological cases.
Evaluation method
The learning assessment will be done through a distributed practice assessment that correspond to 40% of the final mark and through a final exam that will assign the remaining 60% of the final grade.
Subject matter

Reversible and irreversible cell injury and disease causes
Cell death (types) and forms of cellular adaptation and aging
Inflammation, types and disorders of inflammation and immunity groups
