Base Knowledge
Head and Neck Human Anatomy
Basics of Human Physiology
Teaching Methodologies
It is encouraged the autonomous study through the completion of tasks and preparation of classes.
The classes will be based on the expositive method
The correction of the tasks and the doubts presented by the students after the preparation of the subjects will serve as a guide for some topics.
Learning Results
Knowledge of the Anatomical and Physiological basis of Hearing and Balance as well as the anatomical relations between the audiovestibular structures.
Being able to relate anatomy and physiology with common clinical situations.
Understanding the anatomical and physiological basis of some diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in auditory and vestibular pathology
