PHYSIOLOGY OF HORMONAL REGULATION
(objectives)
ENDOCRINOLOGY IS USUALLY TAUGHT AT THE END OF STANDARD PHYSIOLOGY COURSES, BECAUSE THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM REGULATES ALL THE OTHER ORGAN SYSTEMS. IN THIS RESPECT, LEARNING ABOUT ENDOCRINE SYSTEM HAS THE ADDED CHALLENGE OF INTEGRATING STUDENT KNOWLEDGE OF HORMONES AND THEIR ACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL FUNCTION OF A SPECIFIC ORGAN SYSTEM. THE MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THIS COURSE ARE TO ALLOW THE STUDENT TO GAIN A FOUNDATION OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AND INTEGRATIVE PHYSIOLOGY, TO BECOME REFINED IN THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC PAPERS RELATED TO ENDOCRINE PHYSIOLOGY, TO DEVELOP PROBLEM SOLVING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING TECHNIQUES.

FIELD BOTANY OF ITALIAN FLORA
(objectives)
The field botany course aims to offer a direct field experience for identifying plant species of Italian vascular flora, with particular attention to the Central-Southern Apennines, by lectures, herbarium and laboratory tools. For this aim, excursions and trips are intended to recognise the main plant traits (growth form, pollination, dispersal, etc.) and the habitat of plant communities, to collect plant material for providing herbarium exsiccata. Use in field of website Dryades (Univ. Trieste) identification keys will be an innovative tools. A fundamental topic of the course will be an attention to biogeographic history regarding rare species and endemics.

BIO-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
(objectives)
The course will address the chemical transformations shared by organic chemistry and biological systems. Indeed, although the functional group elaborations are formally the same, the followed reaction pathways result to be quite different with respect to the experimental conditions of both organic syntheses and biological processes. In such a context, the enzymatic action modes in living systems will be compared with the key role performed by temperature, pressure, pH, catalysts and solvents. Keeping this in mind, a few of the most well-known chemical reaction mechanisms will be studied, underlining, step by step, the main similarities and distinctions with the analogous biological transformations

(objectives)
Offering the students a new perspective in the study of parasitology, by means of an ecological- evolutionary and comparative approach. The intimate and intricate nature of the association between host and parasite, has traditionally been studied by giving emphasis on its pathogeniticy for non human animal and human hosts. In contrast, this course offers the student the opportunity to deepen topics such as adaptive strategies of parasitic life-style, the impact of parasitism on the community structure or else the role of a parasite in the trophic energy transfer in the community. Emphasis will be given to the host as key element in the parasite environment and, as such, its important role as a selective pressure. The student will be provided with a dynamic course made of lectures, workshops and tutorials on taxa parasites
