Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
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), this unit aims to give
the basis of comprehension of functioning of human body in the molecular, celular, tissular, organics and systemic levels. The study of this discipline should enable the student to learn the most important aspects of Human Anatomy to allow later understand fundamental concepts in the area of sciences of nutrition.
Syllabus:
Digestive system. Genital-urinary system. Respiratory System. Endocrine System. Cardiovascular System.
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 and theoretical- practical and information of the topics addressed , including the use of appropriate teaching resources such as manipulation of anatomical models , 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: The practical sessions of the course of Anatomy and Physiology II 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):
The teaching methodology will be centered on lectures and tutorial classes with appreciation of the competences evidenced by the student. The evaluation of this curricular unit (UC) results from the weighting of 80% of the theoretical (T) and theoretical-practical (TP) components and 20% of the practical component (PL). The evaluation of the T and TP components will be done continuously and will comprise the execution of 4 written frequencies (2 in the theoretical classes and 2 in the theoretical and practical classes). The average of the 4 tests will be 100% of the theoretical grade. The evaluation elements will be quoted on a scale of 0 to 20 values. The student is considered "approved" to the T and TP components if their classification is equal to or greater than 10 values. The student is considered "approved" to the PL component with a rating of 10 or higher. The UC will have a unique final classification, so it will only be awarded once all components have been approved.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
THEORETICAL LESSONS The teaching methodology centered on the theoretical , practical and theoretical information of the topics addressed , including the use of appropriate teaching resources such as manipulation of anatomical models , 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 the contents that were the subject of information in lecture will be resumed and discussed with students, using a virtual lab. Students will perform manipulation of anatomical models and tokens work individually and/or in groups.
