Description

The subject Structure and Function of the Human Body II is taught during the first year.

During the second term, the bases established in the first part of the subject are deepened and the main devices and systems of the body are worked on, both from the anatomical and physiological aspects. Both concepts, presented in an integrated way, promote understanding and place students in an ideal situation for understanding the disease (physiopathology).

It is a basic concept in the work of the nursing professional, ensuring that the person's balance is maintained and/or restored, both physically and psychologically. For this, it is an indispensable condition to know the anatomical and physiological normality, and, based on the same, its dysfunction, the disease.

The gender perspective will be an aspect that the teaching staff will take into account by making an inclusive and non-sexist use of language and promoting the equal participation of everyone in a respectful and inclusive environment both in master classes and in seminar sessions. Female bibliographic references will be provided in the classroom to the extent that the subject allows it and the full first name of the authors will be used. Regarding the images of the content in the teaching material, the non-perpetuation of stereotypes will be encouraged. The different responses in women and men will become visible in terms of the exposure of risk factors underlying the onset of disease, the differences due to sex and gender in the manifestations and experience of the disease. Epidemiological studies have identified differences in the frequency of diseases between sexes, as well as differences in life expectancy; key concepts that will be integrated into the teaching syllabus.

Learning outcomes

LO 1.- Identify and differentiate the different cellular structures.

LO 2.- Locate cellular structures according to their functional units.

LO 3.- Identify the macroscopic structure of the human body.

LO 6.- Relate and differentiate the structures and functioning of the different systems of the human body.

LO 7.- Interrelate the compensatory and feedback physiological mechanisms based on physiology.

LO 8.- Deepen the basic anatomical-physiological issues that allow the understanding of organic dysfunction.

LO 26.- Identify gender deviations in existing knowledge about health-illness processes

LO 28.- Identify the articulation of gender inequalities with other inequalities, of age, social class, origin, ethnic-cultural, sexual orientation, of different abilities and their expression in people's health.

LO 29.- Analyze differences by sex and inequalities by gender in etiology, anatomy, physiology and pathologies; in differential diagnosis, therapeutic options and pharmacological response, and in prognosis; in care for people, as well as in other types of diagnoses and health interventions.

Working methodology

The methodology of the subject will be carried out combining face-to-face classroom time, with autonomous work time, with the support of the virtual learning environment as follows:

Activity	Methodology	Skills
PLENARY SESSIONS	Master classes. Classes aimed at debating and clarifying content. Science reading discussion classes.	CB1, CB5, CG6 CE1, CT1
SEMINARS	Group work for problem analysis using problem-based learning. Preparation and presentation of situations or practical cases	CB1, CB5, CG6 CE1, CT1
STUDY AND AUTONOMOUS WORK	Reading of recommended texts, articles and guides. Study of contents developed in the subject. Preparation of evaluations.	CB1, CB5, CG6 CE1, CT1

Learning activities

The subject's activities follow the continuous assessment system, that is to say that throughout the term the teaching staff will propose various activities, which the students will have to solve, present or hand in.

The work of each of the activities allows the student to evaluate the follow-up of the subject and the elements of improvement, based on the comments and notes that the teachers will make of the activities.

The proposed activities can be individual or in work groups. The teaching staff will give the relevant instructions so that the students can prepare and deliver them.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES:

TYPE OF ACTIVITY	ECTS	HOURS
AF1. Master Class	2	50
AF2. Face-to-face tutorials	0,1	2,5
AF6. Work in group	0,2	5
AF9. Personal Study	3,7	92,5

Evaluation system

The assessment of skills will be carried out continuously and through group sessions and individual questionnaires. During the term, different activities will be requested as a source of evaluation, in such a way that the student will be able to know his own evolution. With this same aim, there will be a written exam in the middle of the term (partial exam) and a written exam at the end of the term.

Evaluation activity	Weighting	Assessed Competences
Questionnaires and activities in Moodle	15%	CB1, CB5, CG6, CE1, CT1
Evaluation of the work of the seminars	25%	CB1, CB5, CG6, CE1, CT1
Partial exam in the middle of the term	30%	CB1, CB5, CG6, CE1, CT1
Examination at the end of the term	30 (60%)	CB1, CB5, CG6, CE1, CT1

To pass and release the subject in the elimination partial exam, the exam grade must be equal to or higher than 6,5. If the partial exam is suspended, the grade corresponding to the final exam will be worth 60% of the total grade.

To pass the course you must obtain a minimum grade of 5 points out of 10 in the final exam of the course.

As established in article 5 of Royal Decree 1125/2003, the results obtained for the student will be graded according to the numerical scale from 0 to 10, with the corresponding qualitative grade:

0 – 4,9: suspension (SS)

5 – 6,9: Pass (AP)

7 – 8,9: remarkable (NT)

9 – 10: excellent (SB)

When the qualification of the subject is of Excellent (mark superior to 9 points) the educational of the asignatura will be able to consider if the student chooses to obtain the qualification of matrícula of honor (MH).

Evaluation activity in recovery period	Weighting	Assessed Competences
Examen	60%	CB1, CB5, CG6, CE1, CT1

In accordance with current regulations, you can only opt for recovery, if it has been suspended the subject. If the rating is Not Presented, you will not be eligible for recovery.

The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.
