At the end of this course unit, students should :
- Be acquainted with the general principles of Anatomy, Histology and Physiology. This course unit will stimulate students’ observation skills by acquainting them with the anatomical terminology. It will also endow them with description techniques, which will make them apply the adequate terminology;
- Be acquainted with the normal structure, both macroscopic and microscopic and the normal function of the nervous system;
- Have acquired knowledge which can be used in the different fields of morphophysiology, in other course units and in upcoming clinical activities.
During the semester, students should also acquire the following competencies:
- Problem-solving skills;
- Self-learning skills;
- Critical reasoning;
- Practical ability to evaluate the function of the different systems;
- Identification of morphophysiological problems in selected clinical cases.
In order to provide students with the aforementioned skills and knowledge, this course unit will apply an integrated morphofunctional approach. Anatomists, histologists and physiologists will be part of the teaching staff.

The teaching methodologies of this course unit will be based on theoretical classes, seminars with the discussion of problems, practical classes, group work and tutorials. There will be a total amount of 85 contact hours, including evaluation.
The final grade will be based on a practical and on a theoretical component. The practical component, which is worth 30% of the final grade, will be based on continuous assessment and a practical exam. Students must also fill in a logbook, in which will be stated the practical skills and competencies acquired during the semester, which are essential to complete this course unit. The theoretical component will be based on a multiple choice exam, which is worth 70% of the final grade.
The assessment will enhance the acquisition of knowledge and decision-making skills.
