Objectives

In Human Anatomy II, it is intended that the students keep on learning the general anatomic terminology and the terminology of the different parts of the human body (already initiated in Human Anatomy I) with special focus on the detailed study of the central nervous system and sense organs, of respiratory, alimentary, urinary, male and female genital systems, and of the endocrine glands.
It is also intended that they develop their skills of observation and autonomous study, acquire the bases of descriptive method, integrating new morphological concepts with notions of functional anatomy.

Learning outcomes and competences

Describe the structural organization and the vascularization of the Central Nervous System, cranial nerves and organs of the senses, respiratory, alimentary, urinary, male and female genital systems, and of the endocrine glands. Identify the divisions and the components of these systems, utilizing the anatomical terminology. Relate the structural organization of the Central Nervous System, cranial nerves and organs of the senses, of the respiratory, alimentary, urinary, male and female genital systems, and of the endocrine glands to their functions, integrating the physiologic, chemical and behavioral concepts.

Eligibility for exams

In accordance with the Regulamento Pedagógico.

Calculation formula of final grade

The knowledge acquired by students will be evaluated through a theoretical final exam and two practical tests (distributed evaluation).
The two practical tests, consisting in the identification of 10 structures on pieces from the anatomic theater (20 structures - in total, will be performed during the laboratory studies. Maximal classification on each test (10 points) requires correct identification of 10 structures. All the other marks will be calculated proportionally as a function of the number of correctly identified structures. The marks obtained on two practical tests will be summed. The theoretical exam includes 40 multiple choice questions. On this test, a maximal classification (20 points) requires correct answers to 40 questions, while all the other marks will be calculated proportionally as a function of the number of correctly answered questions.
Final classification will result on the application of the formula (P + 3×T)/4, were P and T are the classification obtained from the practical and theoretical tests, respectively. Students will be approved if they present a final classification equal or higher than 10.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

According to nº 2 e nº 3 do Art. 8º do Estatuto do Trabalhador-Estudante da Universidade do Porto (DR, 2.ª série; N.º 107; 2 de Junho de 2011)

Classification improvement

Final exam with two tests described in the Framework Final Grade.
