Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
- Acquire fundamental concepts of anatomy and physiology to understand the functioning of the human organism; - Understand the general concepts of the organization and functioning of the human body; - Describe the different reference planes; - Enable the student to understand Human Anatomophysiology in the various systems; - Describe the structure and functioning of the different systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, excretory, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, immune, hematopoietic and integumentary) - Understand the integrated functioning of the different systems; - Develop skills in Human Anatomophysiology for the provision of nursing care.
Syllabus:
1-Introduction to the study of Anatomy and Physiology. Levels of organization of the human body. 2-Musculoskeletal System, -Osteology -Arthrology -Myology .trunk, extremities and head-neck. -Skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle physiology. 3. Cardiovascular System: Anatomy of the heart. Blood vessels. Pulmonary and Systemic Circulation. Lymphatic system. 4. Respiratory System: Functions and anatomy. Gas exchange. Transport of gases in the blood. Digestive System: Anatomy and Physiology. 5-Urinary System: Anatomy and Physiology. Urine production. Regulation of urine concentration and volume. Reproductive system: Anatomy and physiology of male and female reproductive systems. 6-Nervous System - Synapses. Central and Peripheral Nervous System. Cranial nerves. Autonomic Nervous System. 7-Endocrine System: Hormones. Hormonal control. Mechanisms of action and hormone receptors. Endocrine glands.8-Digestive system, anatomy and physiology.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The syllabus of this course is designed to allow the introduction of fundamental concepts on anatomy and physiology of the human body. This first contact will allow the acquisition of competences around the descriptive and comprehensive processes of human anatomy and physiology that are interconnected with the course unit of the second semester, both in its complexity and in its integration. With the acquisition of theoretical, theoretical-practical and laboratory knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the human body, it is intended that the student be able to transfer them to the development of nursing care skills.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The curricular unit develops in contact hours and the student's autonomous working time. For the intended purposes we use expository, interrogative and simulation teaching methodologies. The lectures are essentially expository and interactive, the practical classes are designed to elucidate and deepen the themes taught with the aid of appropriate teaching material (anatomical models, videos), complemented by simulated practice. Student working time will be geared to various programmatic headings. The continuous assessment regime consists of two written test moments (80%) and two laboratory practice evaluations (20%). All items apply to UFP Pedagogical Regulations.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The teaching methodology focused on theoretical, theoretical-practical and practical information of the topics covered, including the use of appropriate teaching resources, such as videos and manipulation of anatomical models, allows the student to acquire fundamental concepts of anatomy and physiology of the human organism. The simulation and the presentation of case studies enables an adequate transfer of these contents for the development of skills of general care nurses.
