In the continuation of the unit of Histology and Embryology Comparative I provide theoretical and practical knowledge about the structure of cells, tissues and organs (now in recent emphasis), the microscopic level, particularly optics, but also electronics, and the respective histophysiology. Thus, the bases of knowledge and skills promoted to a better understanding of Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Pathology, etc.. The practical component is based on the study of preparations of normal tissues and organs, subject directly to the optical microscope or indirectly, via his pictures taken by digital means.
It is also intended to demonstrate the importance of knowing and applying the normal histology of tissues and organs in the face of potential modifications of the same, as well as encourage students to make a morphofunctional integration of acquired knowledge and acquire, and use your creativity in interpretation of results of scientific projects, multidisciplinary components that histological or embryological.
Finally, we aim to teach bases embryology general and special, now with this emphasis, encompassing aspects of descriptive and developmental biology and studies aiming to model organisms (vertebrates). It is intended to provide students with knowledge to understand the structure and the normal organogenesis and placement of organs and tissues in the adult animal. It is also intended that students have the ability to discern the possible events that may cause teratological changes.
Having the ability to observe systematically describe the microscope and diagnose or before histological images, tissues and organs of vertebrates above (from fish to mammals), as well as to know predict / correlate its characteristics from histophysiology structural and dyeing.
It is intended that students obtain the basic principles of developmental biology and embryology descriptive, with an overview of embryological development in comparative terms, integrating this knowledge with the systematic anatomy and microanatomy of the adult. It is also intended that students have the ability to discern the possible events that may cause teratological cases.
Being aware of the importance of full implementation of whether the histology and embryology of normal tissues and organs in the face of potential changes therein. Enhance the student's ability to make a morphofunctional integration of acquired knowledge, and use your creativity in interpreting works that integrate histological component / embryological.

As to the Law (See regulation of the U.Porto).
Critical presentation of two (2) cientific papers.
The final classification is the following weighted average:
Note the theoretical test x 0.35 + Note the theoretical-practical articles + 0.35 x 0.20 x 0.05 x + Participation
Participation, which rewards attendance, level of commitment, and even the quality of performance of each student during the lessons, you can reach a maximum of two values. Each article will be quoted up to 2 values. The student will be approved if it can discipline the minimum values of 9.50, after applying the above formula.
Note: The minimum passing grade on the written test and the theory test and practical is 9.5.
Critical presentation of two (2) papers to include a component of Histology and / or embryology. The same will be done using digital and video projector.
The duration of each presentation is 10 minutes, followed by 5 to 10 minutes thread. Students who make presentations in English will have a bonus of up to 25% of the note Artigoso (ie, until further 5 out of 20).
Work will be performed in groups, usually of four students, being drawn at the time of presentation which group members will present the work. Students who may not be able to come present to answer any questions. Students will do a self-assessment of their level of participation in the preparation of articles.
Special examination will be available to all students who have legally entitled to it, on a date to be announced by the Regent, in accordance with the practice in force in ICBAS. Note however that any particular exae (T or TP) can be of a different nature from that applied in normal time or resource (eg, having a lower extension may be oral character, etc.).
All students that are entitled by law to special examinations will perform them upon official request, in a date announced by the responsible teacher, in accordance with the rules of the ICBAS. There is no place for process improvement in the paper presentations, unless the student back to attend classes and integrate a new working group (of a new school year).
If the student does not get final approval in a given school year, the grades achieved in the various partial evaluation components may transit times to and / or following school years, a situation that must be confirmed with the conductor at the beginning of each school year. However, the Regent reserves the right not to take previous effort where there is no possibility of recovery, given the changes taking place in the type of course evaluation. If there is partial transport notes, the student is subject to the evaluation formula CURRENT school year.
At a certain time of examinations, the student graduates may choose to perform one final exam (the theoretical or theoretical-practical), BUT IT IS REQUIRED TO RESPOND TO SURVEY OF REGISTRATION THAT THE REGENT MAY IMPLEMENT.
