Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
Anatomophysiology II has as main objective to provide information about structural and functional constitution of the human body in areas with affinity for Speech Therapists, namely in the areas of swallowing, phonation and hearing. Other topics will be discussed like the anatomy and physiology of organs that intervene in breathing, swallowing and about sensitive organs (vision, balance, taste and smell). Subjects are learned in a non-exhaustive way, but adapted to the needs of this degree. In view of the specific characteristics of this area, students will be encouraged to consult textbooks and atlases, in order to facilitate self-learning.
Syllabus:
1. Nose and paranasal sinuses. Anatomofunctional features. 2. Oral cavity, oro and nasopharynx. Chewing and physiology of 1st phase of swallowing. 3. Anatomophysiology of the soft palate. Dysfunctional problems in this area. 4. Hypopharynx and pharyngoesophageal transition. Physiology of the 2nd and 3rd stages of swallowing 5. Larynx. Structure and functions. 6. Vocal cords. Structure and functions. 7. Basic vocal physiology. Assessment and analysis methods. 8. Cranial nerves. Most relevant functions. 9. Auditory system and central hearing pathway 10. Vestibular system 11. Visual system 12. Other sensorial organs 13. Physiology and global functions of the stomatognathic system 14. Cranial and facial malformations 15. Central nervous system with special relevance to the motor cortex and pathways associated with language.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
As the main objective of this curricular area is to transmit information about the anatomy and physiology of organs and systems with strong interconnection with other subjects covered during the degree acquisition, is intended that the global theoretical view is always accompanied with a practical perspective, so that the two components allow students to obtain a global and integrated perspective of the subjects. For this and whenever appropriate, a basic explanation of pathological entities with interest for the degree will be given increasing the interest of students. With this methodology, it is intended that students acquire specific skills and abilities of research that will become facilitators for a constant improvement of knowledge in this area.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
Contents will be learned in expository form to permit integration of the several themes, stimulating the intervention of students. Evaluation will be made by two tests in each of the components.Tests will include multiple-choice questions, legend figures, true or false typologies, and development questions. Final classification in each of the components is obtained by the arithmetic average of classifications obtained in the two tests. Final classification will be the result of the arithmetic mean of the classifications obtained in the two previously described components. There may be the possibility to elaborate a written analysis about a specific subject and associated to the final classification.
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 subjects in the classroom.
