Teaching Methodologies
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.
Learning Results
Knowledge
• Human anatomy and physiology integrated with Biochemistry and Biophysics
• Normal functioning of the human body at different age stages
• Distinction of the normal function of the anomalous of all the systems of the organism
• Identification of the physiological processes of different human systems
Skills
• Recognition and description of the physiological processes of the various systems.
• Assessment of the normal physiological functioning of the human body at different age stages.
Practical identification of the main organs and glands of the organism and their basic composition that support the physiological processes exposed in the theoretical and theoretical-practical
Skills
• Retain and develop knowledge of human physiology.
• Know and describe the physiological processes of different human systems.
• Practical recognition of the anatomical structures involved in anatomy-physiology exposed in classes with important clinical guidance
