Anatomophysiology I

The theoretical classes are aimed for the detailed presentation of the program contents. Resorting to the use of multimedia presentations appealing to direct intervention with description/discussion of physiological mechanisms.
On theoretical- practical aspects of the teaching privileges, the viewing of videos for illustration of certain program contents and practical work and their discussion.
In practical classes, a brief presentation of the human or animal structures to be dissected in the INMLCF autopsy room or in the laboratory will be made or, in the absence of these, practical presentation in anatomical models, whose functioning and physiological interrelation was addressed in theoretical and theoretical- practices Summary evaluation by two tests and paper presentation.
The evaluation :
1) Theoretical and theoretical- practical writing assessment (60%)
2) Practical evaluation (40%)
Each evaluation requires grade equal to or higher than 10.

The student must acquire knowledge of:
• Human physiology with integrated Anatomy, Biochemistry and Biophysics.
• Normal functioning of the human body in different age stages.
• Distinction from normal and anomalous function of all organism systems.
• Identification of the physiological processes of the different human systems.
The student must acquire skills:
• Recognition and description of the physiological processes of the various systems.
• Evaluation of normal physiological functioning of the human body in different age stages.
The student must acquire competences of:
• Retain and develop knowledge of human physiology.
• Understand and describe the physiological processes of the different human systems.
