Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
THEORETICAL LESSONS To know the basis of comprehension of functioning of human body in the molecular, celular, tissular, organics and systemic levels. PRATICAL LESSONS Aim to stimulate interest and critical thinking through all the issues related to morphological diversity and the functioning of the human body, promoting the importance of this knowledge in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. In accordance with the Dublin descriptors and competences A, B, C, E, F, G and H of the nutritionist’s profile of competences (Ordem dos Nutricionistas – Nutritionists’ Order, 2016), the student should master the knowledge in order to be able to identify the different organs, structures, devices and systems that make up the human body, their functions and interactions.
Syllabus:
THEORETICAL LESSONS Introduction to Anatomophysiology; The tissue level of organization;The skeletal system: bone tissue; The skeletal system: the axial skeleton; The skeletal system: the appendicular skeleton; Joints; Muscular tissue; The muscular system; The nervous system. PRATICAL LESSONS Movement. Organization of the human body, Tegumentary system, Skeletal system, Joints, Muscular system. Nervous System. Central, Peripheral and Autonomic, Membrane potentials and action potentials, Reflex arc.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
THEORETICAL LESSONS The construction of the syllabus , with the approach of the morphological and functional aspects of human body , with theoretical , theoretical- practical and practical information of the topics addressed , including the use of appropriate teaching resources, is properly appropriate to the learning process in the discipline of Human Anatomy and Physiology in the curricular fence of course of Nutrition Sciences. PRATICAL LESSONS Practical classes of Anatomy and Physiology-I aim to stimulate interest and critical thinking through all the issues related to morphological diversity and the functioning of the human body, promoting the importance of this knowledge in the prevention and treatment of various diseases.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
THEORETICAL LESSONS Theoretical lessons with the use of teaching resources such as material power-point presentation. 2 theory tests will be carried out throughout the semester , involving the taught curriculum . The student is considered " approved " the theoretical rated equal to or higher than 10 . The minimum percentage of compulsory attendance at theoretical classes is 50 % PRATICAL LESSONS The assessment is continuous with work sheets in classroom (4%) and 2 written tests (16%) defined by the Professor at the beginning of the semester. The student is considered "approved" the practice component rating equal to or higher than 10 points. The minimum percentage of compulsory attendance at practical classes is 80%.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
THEORETICAL LESSONS The teaching methodology centered on the theoretical , practical and theoretical and practical information of the topics addressed , including the use of appropriate teaching resources, is properly adapted to the process of learning the discipline of Human Anatomy and Physiologyin the curricular fence of course of Nutrition Sciences . PRATICAL LESSONS In practical classes will resume and discussed with students, the contents that were the subject of information in lecture using a virtual lab. Students will perform manipulation of anatomical models and fill in work sheets individually and/or in groups.
