Prerequisites

Knowledge of biology and general chemistry.

Development of the course

The course is divided into frontal lessons, and theoretical-practical exercises.

Learning outcomes

• Knowledge

The topics of the monographic course are necessary to what is present in the main Biochemistry course and to understand also the topics that will be subsequently proposed in other courses (eg Clinical Biochemistry, Hematology etc.).

• Ability to apply the knowledge

The topics of the program are necessary to the practical knowledge of the profession and to understand the topics that will be discussed later on in other disciplines

• Soft skills

Through the acquisition of the knowledge provided by the Monographic Course, and through the ability to understand their application in the professional field, the student is able to acquire additional skills useful for the understanding of simple clinical cases that may arise during the specialistic field.

Program

Blood, general concepts; blood composition; blood count; erythrocytes, erythrocyte metabolism; leukocytes, leukocyte metabolism; platelets; platelet metabolism; coagulation; hemoglobin and myoglobin; hemoglobinopathies; blood groups; hematopoiesis; plasma and plasma proteins; plasma markers; lipidomics.

Development of the examination

• Methods for assessing learning outcomes:

The assessment of learning is done through a written test, multiple-choice test, after checking the presence during the frontal lessons.

• Criteria for assessing learning outcomes:

The assessment of learning is aimed at assessing the acquired knowledge and skills.

• Criteria for measuring learning outcomes:

The final vote is articulated in /30 and will be reached when the vote is equal to or greater than 18/30. Praise is expected in the event of a final vote of not less than 30/30.

• Criteria for conferring final mark:

The final score is given by computing the exact answers obtained during the test taking also into account the participation during the frontal lessons. Praise is given when the student has obtained a final grade not less than 30/30, and has demonstrated full knowledge of the subject as well as active participation.
