Teaching Methodologies
The classes will be based on the expository learning method and serve to direct the student to the fundamental aspects of auditory and vestibular anatomy and physiology.
The evaluation of the course includes a continuous assessment, through two tests and / or a final exam, which include theoretical and theoretical-practical written tests.
Attendance, participation in classes (namely through oral presentation of topics), preparation of works and regular resolution of lists of exercises as identification of structures can be considered in the final grade.
For approval, students’ knowledge in Anatomy of Head and Neck is mandatory, whose knowledge may be reassessed whenever they are relevant to the curricular unit.
Learning Results
To describe the anatomical and physiological basis of hearing and balance as well as the anatomical relationships between audiovestibular structures. Relate Anatomy and Physiology with some common nosological entities, contacting some clinical situations of high prevalence. Understand the anatomic and physiological bases of some diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in auditory and vestibular pathology.
