Objectives

To enable acquisition of morpho-functional knowledge on the different human systems, so that every student gains a general overview on the unity of those components to analyse, later on, the morphological and functional integration of the human body.

To deepen morpho-functional knowledge of the components of the head and neck, preparing the students to course units with more professional objectives.

Program

Programme:
. Introduction to Human Anatomy. General anatomy of human systems.
. The axial and appendicular skeleton, with relevance to the osteology of the skull.
. Individual articulations. The fasciae and muscles of the body, specifically the muscles of the head and neck.
. Thoracic cavity. Thoracic walls and their vessels and nerves.
. Prenatal and postnatal development of the head and neck.
. Anatomy of the cephalic skeleton. Applied anatomy to the skull fractures.
. The exterior of the skull. Anterior, middle and posterior cranial fossae.
. Face skeleton. Nose, nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Orbit and its contents.
. Infratemporal region and pterygomandibular space. Pterygopalatine region.
. Muscles of the mastication and functional anatomy of the TMJ. Mastication.
. Vessels and nerves of the head and neck.
. Oral cavity proper, its walls and con tents. Salivary glands.
. Pharynx, soft patale and larynx. Swallowing and phonation.
. Abdominal and pelvic cavity. Abdomino-pelvic walls and their vessels and nerves.
. Circulatory, respiratory, digestive and urogenital systems. Endocrine system.
. Central nervous system and sense organs. Autonomic nervous system.
. Cranial nerves, with special relevance to the trigeminal, facial, glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory and hypoglossal nerves.

Teaching methods and learning activities

. Theoretical classes: introduction to main subjects, synthesis of subjects discussed in practical classes and explanation of subjects more difficult to approach in practical classes.
. Theoretical/practical classes on the subjects to be discussed in practical classes.
. Practical classes: study in small groups of subjects of an easier practical approach, where self-learning plays a vital role; some of these have a more tutorial character, some of the subjects implying a group discussion .

Evaluation Type

Evaluation with final exam

Eligibility for exams

Admission to theoretical test presupposes that the student has correctly identified 24 (10 points) of the 30 structures or 32 (10 points) of the 40 structures.

Calculation formula of final grade

Both tests are worth 20 points. Final grade is calculated according to the formula P+3T / 4
