Teaching Plan Information

1. General information

Human Anatomy is considered a basic subject for Health Sciences students. Through knowledge of the human body, its form, the relationships between form and function, as well as between the different organs and systems, students acquire the basis for understanding the physiological mechanisms of health and the pathophysiological mechanisms of disease.

The mastery of new concepts and specialized terminology supports the learning of a new technical language that enables accurate communication between health professionals. At the end of the subject, the student should be able to express themselves clearly about the different parts of the human body, in addition to being able to recognize and locate the different anatomical structures.

The general objective of the subject is to provide students with a comprehensive view of the human body, laying the foundations for understanding health, dysfunction and pathology.

2. Learning results

Upon completion of the subject, the student will be able to:

• Identify, situate and report the different apparatuses, systems and organs of the human body.
• Arrive at an approach to the function and clinical focus of the human body.
• Convey information in an appropriate manner.
• Apply and use the bibliographic material that helps to complement the training in Anatomy.
• Present Anatomy topics in public.
• Working in groups, sharing, managing and contributing information with the objective of promoting interrelation.
• Reason critically, establish a methodology for teamwork and be able to be introduced to the scientific method
• Manage information and perform self-training tasks aimed at continuing education throughout the professional life

2. Examen práctico -prueba oral-(25 % calificación final): consistirá en la identificación sobre preparaciones
   y modelos anatómicos de un número suficiente de elementos que demuestre el conocimiento de la asignatura. Será obligatorio obtener una puntuación mínima de 5 puntos para poder superar la asignatura.
3. Evaluación continuada - trabajos y proyectos- (15 % calificación final): consistirá evaluaciones que serán llevadas a cabo a lo largo del curso en las sesiones de prácticas de laboratorio, así como sesiones de evaluación a modo de casos de razonamiento clínico y actividades que serán llevadas a cabo durante las prácticas o seminarios. Se podrán obtener hasta un máximo de 1,5puntos que se sumarán a la calificación del examen teórico siempre y cuando ésta sea igual o superior a 4 puntos.
