HUMAN ANATOMY I presents the basics of human anatomy and functional anatomy through the conceptual, historical and terminological study of anatomy.

Therefore, l'the main objective of the subject will be to enable the student to be able to understand the functional mechanism of the musculoskeletal system.

In the same way, the student will be prepared to receive the learnings that the following disciplines contribute to the student in the course of his curricular trajectory: the physiology of the exercise, the biomechanics of the physical activity and sport, prescription of physical activity for health, rehabilitation, and systematization or structure of movement and training theory.

The distribution of the theoretical and/or practical content of the subject can be consulted in the timetable and sections of the corresponding virtual classroom before it starts. This subject aims to introduce the gender perspective in its content and development. In addition, the objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer the prejudices of others.

Topic 1. Generalities of the locomotor system

• General anatomy
• Generalities of bones
• Generalities of the joints
• Generalities of muscles
• Generalities of angiology
• Generalities of neurology

Topic 2. Upper limb or limb

• Bones of the upper limb/extremity
• Joints of the extremity/upper limb
• Muscles of the upper limb/extremity
• Carpal and digital sheaths
• Fascias, vessels and nerves of the upper limb/limb

Internships

• Anatomical palpation of structures related to the term's syllabus.
• Seminar: Group activities to deepen the anatomical knowledge of the term's syllabus.

This subject may consider the following indicators detailed in the following table in its evaluation proposal:

A system of quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative (suspended, approved, notable, excellent, honorary registration) is used according to RD 1125/2003.
The subjects will have evaluation and recovery activities in accordance with the teaching guide and the subject's learning plan, published in their virtual classroom and which will establish the necessary requirements to be able to participate.
In accordance with current UPF regulations, all students who, having participated in the learning and assessment activities during the term, have obtained a failing grade for the corresponding subject in the quarterly assessment may participate in the recovery process . Those who have not participated in the learning and assessment activities or who have waived the assessment will not be able to participate. If the grade is "not submitted", you will not be able to opt for recovery and therefore the subject will have to be taken again in its entirety in the following academic year.
Any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the center's assessment regulations. If signs of fraud are detected, including the improper use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the subject's teaching staff may call the student for an individual interview with the aim of verifying their authorship.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in this subject is regulated in the Learning Plan. It must be consulted to find out the specific conditions of use.
