Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
Anatomophysiology I is a scientific area where basic concepts of anatomy and physiology of several organs and body systems are learned, with special emphasis for those considered important for the degree in Speech Therapy, as well as for other scientific health areas. In order to facilitate learning and stimulate the interest of the students, pathological basic contents are associated, to improve the understanding of different signs and symptoms associated with several pathologies. In the end of the teaching period it‘s intended that students can understand specific aspects about the constitution and functioning of the organism, directing the knowledge to future intervention areas.
Syllabus:
CP1- Cell and tissues histology. CP2- Nomina anatomica. Craniofacial anatomy. Ear-jaw articulation. Vertebrae and cervical muscles. CP3 - Upper and lower limbs. CP4 - Respiratory anatomy. Thoracic chest and diaphragm. Mechanism of gas exchange. Regulation of pulmonary ventilation. CP5 - Digestive system. Secretion and absorption in the digestive system. Liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Defecation. CP6 - Cardiovascular system. Heart. Regulation of energy in the heart. The blood vessels. CP7 - Blood. Types of cells and their functions. CP8 - Lymphatic system. Constitution and functions. Homeostasis. Concept and regulation. Immunity. CP9 - Renal and urinary anatomy. Fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. CP10 - Central and peripheral nervous system. Pathways of the nervous message. CP11 - Male reproductive system. Sperm and spermatogenesis. Basic anatomy of the female reproductive system. Physiology of pregnancy and childbirth. CP12 - Hormones. Basic hormonal physiology.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
Teaching and structure coherence will be systematically monitored through questions and analysis of topics in the classroom. Analyzing each of the topics listed from 1 to 10, it‘s easily understood that the proposed topics (CP) are adapted to the learning objectives (AO).
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The contents will be learned in an expository form, to allow a better understanding of the different themes. In classes there will be a period reserved for student intervention. Evaluation tests will include multiple-choice questions, legendary figures, true or false typology, and development questions. Final classification will be the result of the arithmetic mean of the partial classifications obtained in the two previously described components.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
Teaching and structure coherence will be systematically monitored through questions and analysis of topics in the classroom.
