Program

The detailed program for Anatomy 2 can be found in the "Documents" folder. In the first lectures, a general introduction to the anatomy of the following three chapters of human anatomy will be presented: Angiology, Splanchnology, Estesiology. At the end of the semester, knowledge of the Central Nervous System will be added. 

Theoretical classes - Fridays from 11-13 hours. Theoretical-practical classes - 1 hour/week: Fridays from 14:00 to 15:00, these classes are intended to deepen the application of anatomy in the clinical practice of the dentists. Practical classes - 2 hours/week with specific timetable for each class, taking place in the practical classrooms and at the Nuno Grande Museum of the Department of Anatomy; These classes are essential for learning skills in Human Anatomy and continuous assessment of knowledge will be carried out, so all students attending the course for the first time, including worker students with special statuses, will have to attend at a minimum of 75 % of these classes to obtain frequency in the subject and thus be admitted to the exam. Main Bibliography: Gray's Anatomy, any edition of the classic book of Human Anatomy in English. It should be noted that in Anatomy, the essential reading is that of the corpses and cadaveric specimens carried out in practical classes and during periods of autonomous study. Therefore, anatomical specimens and cadavers that are part of the Department of Anatomy's collection are available to students for study, which will be handled both in the space of practical classes and outside their hours upon request. The Department also has anatomical pieces organized in the form of a Museum that is open to students during the entire opening hours of the Department of Anatomy.

Calculation formula of final grade

The student will pass Anatomy 2 if he or she succeeds in one of the following three assessment modes:

EVALUATION DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER. It consists of the following components: (i) two interim tests with two exams, one practical and one theoretical, to be held on the same day in the interim week on dates to be designated by the Pedagogical Council. Both tests are rated 8.5 points (5 points for the theoretical test, which will consist of 25 questions, 1 point for the theorical-practical test, which will consist of 3 questions and 2.5 for the practical test); (ii) Continuous assessment throughout the practical classes, each practical class teacher will define in the first practical class which continuous assessment criteria will be applied in their classes (2 points); (iii) Continuous assessment – theorical-practical classes: presentation on the importance of anatomy in the clinical practice of a dentist (1 point). If the student misses one of the two exams, or does not pass one of the components, he or she will have to present to the Final Exam.

FINAL EXAM. It covers the entire subject of Anatomy 1 and consists of a theoretical and practical test, with a quotation of 10 values ​​for the theoretical test, 5 values ​​for the practical test and 3 values ​​for the continuous assessment. For students presenting to the final exam who attended the subject in previous years, the quotation will be 15 points for the theoretical exam and 5 points for the practical test. The theoretical test will consist of 50 questions. If the student is not successful at the final exam, he or she will have the opportunity to take the recourse/appeal exam.

APPEAL EXAMINATION. It will consist of practical test (5 points) and theoretical test (15 points). To have access to this exam, the student will have to have attended practical classes (attendance in 75% of classes) in the current year or in previous years. This same exam will be used for those students seeking to improve their exam scores that apply for this assessment.

INTERIM TESTS:

In all partial tests, a minimum classification of 50% of the total score is required. All practical tests consist of identifying 20 anatomical structures from the Department of Anatomy's assets. Theoretical tests will consist of multiple answer questions (5 points, the student can only mark 1 point, the wrong ones do not discount). Subjects that are evaluated in the exam of the interim week will be excluded from the evaluation of the final week of the semester.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

All exams performed in Special Term will be done exclusively through ORAL TEST by two professors.

Classification improvement

The exam will consist of the same test that is carried out by students who submit to the final exam or the recourse exam.
