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

Knowledge of the neuroanatomical concepts and their correlation with the functions of the Central Nervous, Peripheral (including cranial nerves) and Vegetative Systems.
Ability to recognize the anatomical elements and semiology associated with function and dysfunction
Knowledge of the international language and development of coherent technical anatomical language within health sciences
Identify and recognize the anatomy of the 
respiratory system, namely bronchial and alveolar tree
Knowledge and understanding of respiratory kinetics and dynamics, hematosis, Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide transport, and the ventilation control mechanisms
Identification and recognition of the anatomy of the heart, cardiac circuit, cardionector system, the extrinsic regulation, namely the concept of the Frank-Starling law and the role of the anatomical nervous system, details of the cardiac fiber and cell ando f the coronary circulation.

Teaching methodologies

This unit is based mainly on lectures. Also some extra-class search will be done by student in order to discuss some concepts in lectures. Other strategies are also included like discussion of cases which help the student to acquire knowledge about the syllabus.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

In this course the final assessment of the student is achieved by two written tests, contributing with 80% of the final evaluation, and by a work performed in group, accounting for the remaining 20% of the final evaluation. Final evaluation must be higher than 9,5 values. In case of failure the student may repeat the written test in exam time (normal or appeal).
