Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives

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 respiratory and urinary apparatus; 

-  Have acquired knowledge which can be used in the different fields of morphophysiology, in other course units and in upcoming clinical activities.  

Learning outcomes and competences

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. Additionally, anatomists, histologists and physiologists will be part of the teaching staff.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching methodologies of this course unit will be based on theoretical classes (1h), theoretical-practical classes (17h), practical classes (34h) and tutorials (2,5h). There will be a total amount of 57 contact hours, including evaluation (2.5h).

 

 

Evaluation Type

Evaluation with final exam

Assessment Components

Designation Weight (%)
Exame 100,00
Total: 100,00

Calculation formula of final grade

The final grade will be based on a practical component, which is worth 1/3 of the final grade, and a theoretical component, which is worth 2/3 of the final grade.


The assessment aims evaluation of the acquisition of knowledge and decision-making skills.













The student can only attend the theoretical exam if he passes the practical exam.






















































 




































Classification improvement
























If the student pretends to improve his grade, he must repeat both the practical and theoretical exams.























Observations












The student is allowed to mantain the practical exam rate for the next season of the same scholar year in the case of failure or non-appearance to the theoretical exam.
