Teaching Methodologies
The theoretical classes are aimed for the detailed presentation of the program contents. Resorting to the use of multimedia presentations appealing to direct intervention of students with description and discussion of physiological mechanisms. It is privileged the viewing of videos for illustration of certain program contents and work and their discussion.
Students who obtain a minimum grade of 10 (ten), rounded up, will be considered to have passed this course unit. Continuous assessment 2 Test – Written exam (50%+50%) The final grade for the theoretical assessment is the weighted average of both written tests, with a minimum grade of 8 (rounded up to the nearest whole number) required in each test.
Final assessment
Normal/Resit/ Special period exam: Written exam (100%)
In accordance with the Academic Regulations for the 1st Cycle of Studies of the School of Health Technology of the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, available for consultation at https://www. estesc.ipc.pt/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Regulamento-Academico-1o-Ciclo_ESTeSC_-Homologado_signed_20230720.pdf
Learning Results
Understand and apply the principles of descriptive and topographical anatomy, recognising the different anatomical planes and positions.
Identify and describe the anatomical structures of the musculoskeletal and cardiothoracic systems, correctly using international anatomical nomenclature.
Distinguish normal human anatomy from its main morphological variants, from embryonic development to old age.
Relate the structural organisation to the function of the musculoskeletal and cardiothoracic systems, recognising their main elements of vascularisation, innervation and functional interdependence.
Apply anatomical knowledge to the observation and interpretation of structures in models, images and anatomical specimens, recognising their relevance to the practice of Occupational Therapy.
Develop skills for retaining and consolidating anatomical knowledge, demonstrating the ability to expand and integrate learning in subsequent CU.
Program
Introduction: history of anatomy; anatomical terminology; anatomical position and planes.
General concepts relating to organ systems: skeletal, joint, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory. Anatomy of the upper and lower limbs: bones, joints, muscles, arterial and venous vascularisation, and innervation.
Anatomy of the head: bones of the skull and face, emissary veins. Autonomic nervous system, sympathetic and parasympathetic. Trunk: Thorax; Lungs, Constitution.
Circulation, lymphatic plexuses and pulmonary innervation. Trachea and bronchi; Mediastinum Heart: surface anatomy; Pericardium;
Divisions, pericardial layers, pericardial sinuses, vascularisation and innervation. Constitution of the cardiac wall: faces, edges and apex;
