Anatomophysiology and Human Pathophysiology

Não definida.

Teaching is done using active learning techniques, case studies and practical work. Theoretical knowledge is conveyed in lectures and other classes centered on the Student. The themes are then explored using practical group work, the results of which are presented to colleagues.

1. To understand the fundamental notions of Histology, Anatomy, and Physiology that allow the description and holistically understanding of the human body;

2. To know the different types of pathologies and disorders associated with posture and movement;

3. To identify the different types of technical aids / support products that prevent / minimize pathologies / disorders associated with posture and movement.
