Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
The learning of Human Anatomy and Histology is structural for medical education representing a fundamental step for a better understanding of the clinical subjects. Provides the bases for a medical reasoning and thinking, promoter of skills development related to observation, description and adoption of appropriate anatomical and medical terminology. This course aims the acquisition of solid knowledge about Human Anatomy and its functional implications.   The students should be able to pronounce and define the anatomical terms used. Students should still be able to describe, locate and relate structures related to the chapters: Head and neck anatomy and Oral Histology.
Syllabus:
Anatomy and Histology oriented to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic. Pathologies of facial and dental development: molecular, micro, macro and clinical perspective. Embryology of the face and craniofacial growth. Odontogenesis, amelogenesis and odontogenesis. Most common pre- and post-eruptive changes in enamel and dentin histology - clinical impact . Dental morphology of permanent and deciduous dentition. Radiological anatomy and determination of dental age.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The classes are intended to allow students to acquire basic knowledge in the field of Head and Neck Anatomy and Oral Histology for Pediatric Dentistry Clinic. In order to obtain a solid and extensive knowledge of Human Anatomy and Histology and according to the syllabus, it was considered more efficient to start the program with the Introduction to the Study of Human Anatomy and Histology, through the internalization of definitions and structural concepts to meet the proposed objectives.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The theoretical component (CT) consists of 120-minute lectures started by a presentation of the summary and ended with a summary of the subject and a session for clarification of doubts. Includes tutorial teaching open to the participation of students and work with models and complementary diagnostic tests. Evaluation is continuous and takes into consideration: assiduity, punctuality and student attitude in class. It also consists of moments of written evaluation of knowledge. The final grade will be a 0-20 quantitative grade. Students pass with a grade of 10 or more points.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The UC develops the chapters: Head and Neck Anatomy & Oral Histology oriented to odontopediatrics. In theoretical and theoretical-practical sessions will be taught the syllabus using multimedia devices. Will be exposed and discussed the relevant theoretical concepts in the classroom and guided the independent study of students by consulting the recommended bibliography. The acquisition, understanding and application of knowledge through presence classes will be privileged. In the first class the guide of the theoretical classes will be presented with the planning of the classes per week, the general and specific objectives per class and the skills to be acquired. The general organization of the curricular unit (distribution of programmatic content, pedagogical orientation and monitoring of objectives and quality) is the responsibility of Prof. Augusta Silveira. Regular meetings will be held with the teachers of the practical component in order to monitor and promote constant articulation between components. Continuous assessment will take into account the attendance and punctuality of the student and his attitude in the classroom. It also consists of moments of written assessment of knowledge. The final grade will take into account all assessment parameters, and will be a quantitative 0-20. Students are approved with a grade of 10 or more points.
