General etiopathogenesis: it focuses on a survey of the underpinnings of disease through the study of genetics, immunopathology, toxicology, or the basic elements of oncology. Some key clinical manifestations are also included, namely, the two most frequent symptoms: pain and fever. To sum up, the general causes and the general mechanisms of becoming ill are considered.

Acquiring an understanding of the basic mechanisms of disease.
Lectures. Personal study. Email and face-to-face tutoring as needed. The Aula Virtual will be used to upload course notes and advertisements.
In case Scenario 2 is implemented, lectures will be simultaneously physical and remote through Teams or a similar platform provided by USC.
EIn case Scenario 3 is implemented, lectures will be exclussively remote.
Grading will ber 75%: test. Each correct answer scores 1 point and each wrong answer subtracts 1/3 of a point. The additional 25% will be established through evaluation of participation in class and presentations.
In case of Scenario 2, the physical test will be maintained. Distribution will be such as to respect the distancing policies implemented by USC.
In case of Scenario 3, the physical test will be substituted by a synchronous Moodle test.
Attendance to clases (physical or remote, see above). Participation. Individual study effort: about one hours per lecture hour.
A review of First Year Biochemistry and General Physiology is recommended.
Changes derived from a hypothetical implementation of scenarios 2 or 3 are described in the relevant information blocks.
In case of fraud in exams, tests or exercises, what appears in the document: "Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións" will be applicable.
