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 reproductive and endocrine apparatus;
- 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. Additionally, anatomists, histologists and physiologists will be part of the teaching staff.
