Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

It is intended that at the end of this course the student is able to:
• Understand the structural basics (anatomy) and function (physiology).
• Understand the basic principles of the physiology of muscle contraction.
• Understand the constitution and functioning of the various systems of the human body systems.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The lectures consist of theoretical exposure where the fundamental concepts of various sections of the
program are presented, intending thereby that students acquire an overview of the themes and their
interconnections.

Teaching methodologies

The teaching of anatomy and physiology is essentially based on the articulation of exhibitive,
demonstration and active methods.
Expositive, demonstrative, participative and problem solving. The unit can be effected by: (a) continuous
evaluation, ongoing at the school and that results in the exemption examination period, if the final grade is
equal to or higher than 10, and assuming the formative and summative dimensions; (b) exam, which takes
the summative dimension. The assessment is made by two written tests, each one accounting for 50% and
with 9,5 values of mínimal classification.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

The teaching methodology is based on theoretical and practical classes, which complement the defined
program allowing that students integrate all the contents and achieve the set goals. In the theoretical
classes, contents are exposed, making the relationship between the different structures and systems. In
theoretical-practical classes, a greater interaction with the students is possible, since they are in smaller
groups, the students can use anatomical models, view movies or even grasp the operation of various
anatomical structures using the media or high fidelity mannequins existing in ESS.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The classification of all assessment instruments is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20, and the weighted value
of the marks obtained must be equal or greater than 10. The exam consists in a written test, in which the
approval will require a rating equal to or higher than 10.
