Skills

Basic skills

  • CB5_That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.

  • CB1_That students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding of an area of ​​study that is based on general education, and is usually found at a level that, while supported by advanced textbooks. Also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the forefront of their field of study

Specific skills

  • CE1_Know and identify the structure and function of the human body. Understand the molecular and physiological basis of cells and tissues

General competencies

  • CG5_Design care systems aimed at individuals, families or groups, evaluating their impact and establishing the appropriate modifications

Description

The subject of Structure and Function of the Human Body is taught in two Quarters: the First and the Second of the Course.

In the first, the basic, anatomical and functional concepts of the human body have been discussed through Lectures, Seminars, Individual and Group Works.

In this second all those concepts for Systems and Apparatus are treated.

It is a subject that must allow the student, and from parameters of normality, to be able to identify in the later subjects - Pathophysiology-- the own dysfunctions of the diseases.

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 compensatory and feedback physiological mechanisms based on physiology.
LO 8. Deepen the basic anatomical-physiological issues that allow the understanding of organic dysfunction.

 

Working methodology

The Merodología of the Subject will be carried out combining the "Time dedicated to Face-to-face Activities in the Classroom" with the "Time dedicated to the Autonomous Work" with the support of the virtual environment of learning.

The time percentage that the student must dedicate is distributed as follows:

Learning activities:

Evaluation system

The Assessment of Competences will be carried out continuously and through Group Sessions and the quality of the individual work. For this reason, and throughout the Quarter, different activities will be requested as a source of evaluation. In this way, that the student will be able to know and of continuous form, his own evolution. To this end, a written test will be carried out in the middle and at the end of the term.

Activity Weighting Assessed Competences
Quizzes and Moodle Activities 10% CB1, CB3, CB5, CE1
Evaluation of the Work of the Seminars 20% CB1, CB3, CB5, CE
Partial test in the middle of the term 20% CB1, CB3, CB5, CE
Exam at the end of the term 50% CB1, CB ·, CB5, CE1

The Partial Test in the middle of the Quarter will have eliminatory character on the matter imparted until the moment, being indispensable condition that, the Minimum Note that is of 6 on 10.

Passing the subject will lead to obtaining a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 in the final exam.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of Royal Decree 1125/2003, the results obtained by the student will be classified according to a numerical scale from 0 to 10, with the following scale: 5 to 6,9, Approved; at 8,9, Notable; 9 to 10, Excellent.

In those cases in which the Qualification is of Excellent (note> to 9 points), the teachers of the Subject will be able to consider if the student opts to the Qualification of "Matrícula d´Honor" (MH).

To access the Recovery Assessment, it will be absolutely essential that the student has taken the Final Exam in his / her First Call.
