Anatomy I

The student should have knowledge on the principals of general and human biology.

The theoretical classes aim to address in detail the syllabus. Na actively expository methodology will be used,motivating for the direct intervention of the students, and favouring an abundant iconography, instead of the classical theoretical teaching.

On theoretical-practical component, students will be encouraged to do practical work, assisted by multimedia, with explanations and demonstrations on anatomical models. Assisting to autopsies will also be encouraged.

The learning activities will use resources acquired through the Innov2Care project.

T

The student must acquire knowledge on:

– Descriptive and topographic anatomy in different anatomical planes.

– Description and location of anatomical structures according to the international anatomical nomina.

The student should acquire skills and competences of:

– Identifying and describing anatomical structures, considering normal anatomy and its variants.

– Describing anatomical structures for different systems.

– Establishing anatomical spatial correlations.

– Correlating anatomical structures with their function, for further application in a clinical context.

History of morphological sciences.

Anatomical nomina and position, and anatomical planes.

General concepts on osteology, arthrology, myology, angiology and innervation.

Anatomy of the axial skeleton: osteology, arthrology, myology, angiology and innervation

Anatomy of the skull: neurocranium and viscerocranium

Central nervous system: brain and spinal cord

Special senses

Anatomy of the axial skeleton: osteology, arthrology, myology, angiology and innervation

Thorax:

– Osteology, arthrology, myology and angiology

– Breast.

– Lung and pleura

– Heart and pericardium

– Mediastinum

Anatomy of the appendicular skeleton:

– Upper limb: osteology, arthrology

– Lower limb: osteology, arthrology

Evaluation methods for this curricular unit include 2 (two) exams during the semester weighted as follows: 35% for theoretical-practical component and 65% for theoretical component. Each exam accounts for 50% of the final grade.

Each component requires a minimum grade of 9.5. To access the theoretical component in each assessment moment, students must achieve the minimum grade of 9.5 in the theoretical-practical component. Students must also achieve a minimum of 9.5 in each theoretical test. 

Approval to this curricular unit is granted with a mean of 9.5.

Assessment by exam follows the same distribution of weights between the two matrices with the same criteria to access the theoretical component.

In case of a final grade higher than 15, it will be confirmed by an oral test, prevailing the best grade.
