Objectives

This is a classic course in macroscopic human anatomy which is designed to impart systematized and detailed knowledge of the structure of the human body. Clinical medicine concepts are often integrated into this anatomical information. Anatomy I covers three chapters of Descriptive Human Anatomy: Osteology, Arthrology and Myology. In the lectures, a global view of human anatomy will be presented; in the theoretical-practical classes, aspects of anatomy that are more specific to Dental Medicine will be explored; and with the practical classes, the aim is for students to acquire the ability to identify, interpret and describe the anatomical elements of the human body in a systematic and complete way, using cadaveric specimens as the object of study.

Learning outcomes and competences

Acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge of human anatomy for future application in clinical practice.

Teaching methods and learning activities

There are two one-hour lectures a week, one one-hour theoretical-practical lecture a week and one three-hour practical lecture a week. Anatomical specimens and dissected human cadavers are used in the laboratory classes. Students have access to the specimens used in practical classes outside of their practical classes, as long as they request them in advance.

Eligibility for exams

Participation in at least 3/4 of the practical classes and 3/4 of the theoretical-practical classes taught.

Calculation formula of final grade

Students can pass Anatomy I if they succeed in one of the following three assessment processes:

 

 

 

ASSESSMENT DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER.

 

It consists of the following components:

 

• Two mid-term tests with two exams, one practical and one theoretical, to be held on the same day in the mid-term week on dates to be designated by the Pedagogical Council.

1. 1st mid-term exam - Practical exam (identification of 20 anatomical structures) - 2 values; Theoretical exam (30 multiple choice questions) - 6 values. Attendance at both exams is compulsory. To pass, the student must obtain at least 50% of the marks in the theory exam.
2. 2nd mid-term exam - Practical exam (identification of 20 anatomical structures) - 1.5 values; Theory exam (25 multiple-choice questions) - 5 values. Attendance at both exams is mandatory. To pass, the student must obtain at least 50% of the marks in the theory exam.

 

(ii) Assessment of practical classes - 2 values. Each practical class professor will define in the first practical class which continuous assessment criteria they will apply in their classes.

(iii) Evaluation of theoretical-practical classes.

1. Presentation of clinical cases in TP classes (1.5 points)
2. Image-based assessment of TP classes: 2 multiple-choice tests consisting of 5 questions (with images) each, which will take place in the theoretical-practical classes. Each assessment will have a maximum of 1value. Attendance is mandatory for both assessments.

Students who did not pass the exam in the previous year may choose to take the continuous assessment, having to attend the practical and PT classes again, or take the exam only in the appeal exam.

 

 

APPEAL EXAM.

 

Students attending this year can choose to keep the continuous assessment and the formula in the "Final Exam" section will apply.

 

 

 

If you choose to keep the marks obtained in the appeal exam only, the distribution of the assessment will be as follows: a theory test and a practical test, with a mark of 15 for the theorical test (55 questions), 5 for the practical test (40 structures). To pass, the student must obtain at least 50% of the marks in the theoretical exam. Students who did not pass in previous years, but who attended the practical classes, will be able to take this exam in the latter form.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Students should study the anatomical specimens available before the practical classes.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

All exams taken in the Special Season will be taken exclusively by the ORAL TEST in front of two professors.

Classification improvement

Students should study the anatomical specimens available before the practical classes.
