Base Knowledge
Students must have previous knowledge on biology and chemistry.
Teaching Methodologies
During classes a theoretical exposure of the different topics will take place, encouraging an active participation of the students. For the theoretical-practical classes anatomical structures and physiological exercises will be explored in order to reinforce the previously acquired knowledge.
Learning Results
The student must acquire:
– Knowledge on anatomical structures, their spatial relations, and the underlying physiological mechanisms.
– Aptitude to correctly identify anatomical structures and linked them to their function.
– Competence on describing physiological mechanisms and their impairment in relation to the anatomical structures involved.
