Human Anatomy, Histology and Physiology II

Recommended Prerequisites

Basis of anatomy, histology, physiology, biology, physics and chemistry.

Teaching Methods

Evaluation: Final exam admittance: concerns to the student evaluation during the semester and depends on its assiduity, punctuality, attitudes on classes and on group work and manifested knowledge during the classes and evaluation moments. Final exam: written test about all subjects of the curricular unit and its pre-requisites. For curricular unit approval the student has to achieve 50% of the total quotation on this final exam. Final score = (Final exam admittance note + Final exame score) / 2.

Learning Outcomes

The aim of this curricular unit is to give knowledge about integrative human morphophysiology, according to the course objectives to develop competencies and attitudes considered as very important in biomedical research.
