Objectives

Under the Anatomy-Histology, it is intended that students acquire a set of concepts of human anatomy and histology, correlation between the knowledge of the structure with cell functions . Students should understand cell differentiation and their integration into more complex organizational units such as tissues, organs and systems, and their respective contribution to a certain effect. In conjunction with the laboratory component, it is intended that studants may identify and locate the anatomical parts and also characterize different tissue types present in organs and systems, establishing relationships between the anatomical-histopathological features with the function of the system under study, clarifying questions and debating issues in order to integrate the subjects taught, stimulate thinking and the interest in this area of knowledge.

Learning outcomes and competences

It is intended that learning matches a responsible student autonomy through observation (macroscopic and microscopic models of anatomical and histological preparations, respectively) and application of basic concepts. As a starting point, detailed protocols, aimed at developing skills such as: Finesse on macroscopic and microscopic; Agility to safely and accurately identify form / constitution of cell and tissue, organ and system of the Human body, sensitivity to accurately correlate the macro and microscopic tissue, organ and system of the Human body.

Program

Theory 1) The Anatomy and Histology areas as a science, objectives of their study and their interconnection. 2) Regional or Topographical Anatomy, Systematic Anatomy, Surface Anatomy and Radiological Anatomy. Tissue Characterization of Human Body Basics 1) epithelial tissues, connective tissues, Muscle Tissue, Nervous Tissue; Locomotion 2) Skeletal System: osteology; Arthrology and epidemiology; Joint System, Muscular System. 3) Nervous system: Functional unit of the nervous system; anatomical organization of the nervous system (central and peripheral nervous system). Characteristics relevant from a morphological/histological point of view. 4) Endocrine system: anatomical location of their constituents and their histological description 5) integumentary system: histological description 6) Respiratory System: histological and anatomical organization 7) Cardiovascular system: anatomical organization and histological characteristics 8) Blood and hematopoiesis 9) Immune system: anatomical and histological characteristics organization 10) Reproductive system: histological and anatomical organization of the Male and Female Reproductive System. 11) Urinary system: anatomical organization of the urinary system. Histological characteristics 12) Digestive System: Anatomical Organization of the digestive system; overall histological characterization of the digestive tract (characterization of tunics - mucosa, submucosa, muscle and serosa). Laboratory: Exercises in Anatomy and Histology. Work on the theme of the lesson. Microscope slides with key tissues, organs and systems to be observed.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching of Anatomy, Histology intended to be a hybrid education (B-learning) mostly but complemented with classroom teaching tutorial using an e-learning platform. The school program is designed so that there is coordination and integration of theoretical and experimental concepts taught and held in classroom (using masterful methodology or laboratory) and tutorials (using the platform of e-learning: e-lessons, analysis of exercises and case studies). In the lectures an exposition of the themes described in the program of the discipline will be made and, where possible, promote an interactive discussion with students about the material under study. In laboratory classes running using experimental protocols and exercises (previously available on the platform) will be privileged to develop skills that allow a correlation between the macro and microscopic tissue, organ and system of the Human body. The forums on e-learning platform intended to be an extended space for discussion between students of different classes, moderated by teachers.

Calculation formula of final grade

DISTRIBUTED EVALUATION: continuous assessment + final exam

  FINAL EXAM: two parts, theoretical and laboratory component.

  The laboratory component - issues on selected images of anatomy and histology (up to 4 values ​​of 20 of the discipline), and requires a minimum score of 0.8.

  The theoretical-type questions multiple choice (up to 12 values ​​of 20 of the discipline), and requires a minimum score of 2.4.

 

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT (4 values ​​in the 20 values ​​of discipline):

    a) Participation and performance in laboratory classes (Mini-test per class) - 2.8 values

    b) Case studies on anatomohistofisiologia-1.2 value (to answer questions related to the platform 4 case studies)

  The ratings will be assigned individually, and possibly differentiated within the same group where appropriate

  MINI TEST: 15 questions for immediate response. A mini-laboratory test per class (up to 2.8 of the 20 values ​​of discipline).

 

FINAL NOTE: the sum of the evaluation of the final exam and continuous assessment

To be sucess - final score equal to or greater than 9.5. Are not provided oral evidence.
