Objectives

The aim of this course unit is the description, functional when possible,of the tissues, organs and systems of the human body. n order to enhance the knowledge of the body in the perspective necessary to health professionals. In the specific case of the course of Nutrition Science the objectives are the following:
- Understand the relationship between form and function of histological structures and how an adequate or bad nutrition affect them.
- Detailed knowledge of the histology of the Digestive system and Associated Glands in association with others, like the Cardiovascular and Endocrine. Understanding how dysfunctions of these systems generate homeostatic inbalances.
- Global knowledge of how the microscopic structure of these organs and systems form a base for other disciplines later taught in the course of Nutrition Science.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical lectures(2 per week with duration of 1 hour).
Theoretical-practical lectures for observation of histological preparation and of electronic microscopy photos.
Theoretical and theoretical-practical auto-evaluation activities.

Evaluation Type

Evaluation with final exam

Eligibility for exams

Presential participation (estimated in hours) : 60

Frequency of one third of pratical lectures

Calculation formula of final grade

- Theoretical examination: 60 questions of multiple choices. Minimal grade: 9.5
- Theoretical-practical examination: 15 questions of observation and identification. Minimal grade: 9.5 (if the student gets less than 9.5 is excluded and will not be allowed to perform the theoretical examination)

- Final grade calculation: (3 x theoretical grade + theoretical-practice grade)/4

Examinations or Special Assignments

N/A

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Through an examination similar to the one performed by the other students, but the theoretical-practice will consisti n the description of a histological preparation. It will be carried out in the stipulated season.

Classification improvement

Realization of a new theoretical and theoretical/practice examination (or of only theoretical, if settled with student)
