Description


The subject HUMAN ANATOMY III is based on and expands the previous subjects HUMAN ANATOMY I and HUMAN ANATOMY II with the following contents: the teaching of the musculoskeletal system of skull, neck, masticatory muscles, peripheral arterial and venous distribution, and distribution of peripheral SNP (peripheral nervous system). And the morphology and functioning of the cardiovascular, respiratory and neural systems. The detailed study of the NERVOUS SYSTEM is essential for the clinical practice of physiotherapy, not only in the specialty of neurophysiotherapy but also in a musculoskeletal approach. It should be borne in mind that there is a reciprocal influence between the musculoskeletal, nervous and visceral systems.

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured. The TecnoCampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.

Learning outcomes


  • LO1. Identify the main historical facts of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and biomechanics, as well as know how to recognize the study methods and recording techniques most used in these disciplines, and interpret their data and graphs.
  • LO2 Identify the morphological aspects related to the locomotor system, as well as those on which human movement is based. Treat and explain accurately the anatomical terminology.
  • LO3. Analyzes movements and interprets the involvement of the joints and muscles involved, as well as other factors that determine it.
  • LO6. It applies, based on the knowledge of the anatomy, and physiology implied in the corporal systems determining by the human movement.

  • Systematization of the SNP (peripheral nervous system).

Practice:

  • Palpation: Anatomical palpation of structures related to the topic of the term. With a teaching load of 8h 45min.
  • Seminar: Group activities to deepen the anatomical knowledge of the syllabus of the term. With a teaching load of 8h 45min. 

Learning activities


The activities of the subject follow the system of continuous evaluation, that is to say, that throughout the term the professor raises several activities, that the students must solve and deliver. The work of each one of the activities allows to value to the student the follow-up that does to the asignatura and the elements of improvement, from the comments and notes that the professor will do of the activities.

The proposed activities can be individual or in work groups. The teacher gives the instructions so that the students can elaborate and deliver them. All the activities proposed are designed so that students have a practical perspective on the topics that are developed throughout the ten weeks of the term.

This will facilitate the achievement of the knowledge and skills specified in this teaching plan. However, in relation to those practical contents of the subject in which the acquisition of procedural and attitudinal skills by students is essential, it can be considered, if the health situation requires it, the partial and temporary suspension of this with the consequent postponement in its continuity until the health situation allows it.

Evaluation system


The student's final grade is the result of a continuous assessment and a final assessment. The approved of the subject is obtained with a grade equal to or higher than 5 points (out of 10 points) according to the following weighting table:

Qualification system (Royal Decree 1125/2003, of 5 September, establishing the European credit system and the qualification system for university degrees of an official nature and valid throughout the state):

0 - 4,9: Suspension (SS)

5,0 - 6,9: Approved (AP)

7,0 - 8,9: Notable (NT)

9,0 - 10: Excellent (SB)

Criteria for averaging between the evaluation activities: IT IS NECESSARY TO PASS THE FINAL EXAMINATION WITH A 5 or HIGHER TO AVERAGE THE GRADE WITH THE OTHER EVALUATIONS.

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

1st Call.

if the student passes the eliminatory partial exam with a grade equal to or higher than 6, the exam of 1st call will include only the part of the syllabus after the celebration of the partial and will be realized at the end of the subject, during the evaluation period of the quarter in which it is taught. If the student takes a grade lower than 6 in the partial eliminatory exam, the exam of the 1st call will include all the contents and will be carried out at the end of the subject, during the evaluation period of the term in which it is taught. .

 

Recovery.

Within the same course, there is the possibility of recovering skills not achieved during the course. In accordance with current regulations, you can only opt for recovery, if the subject has been suspended. If the grade is Not Presented, you will not be eligible for recovery. The grades obtained in the continuous assessment will be kept as part of the final grade of the subject, both passed and not passed, to preserve the criteria of continuous assessment, maintaining the same weighting as in the first call. The final grade of the course is the result of the sum of percentages of all grades obtained during the term (according to weighting table). If the average of them is not passed, the subject will be suspended even if the exam of 1st call or recovery has been passed.

Schedule and Guide of activities.

All the evaluation activities will have specific dates of realization and delivery, that will communicate to the student to the start of the asignatura by means of the Schedule and the Guide of activities.

Individual, group activities and participation in class activities.

Individual work is part of the ongoing assessment. It will be published in the "moodle" of the subject and will be related to the syllabus. Students' participation in the activities proposed in the face-to-face classes and in the "forums" of the classroom will be valued.

Possibility of obtaining Honorary Registration.

When the final qualification of the subject is of Excellent (of 9 to 10 points), the professor will be able to award to personal criterion the qualification of Matriculation of Honor. According to UPF academic regulations, the maximum number of MHs possible in a subject is 5% in relation to the total number of students enrolled in it.
