Description

The subject Structure and Function of the Human Body II is taught during the first year.

During the second term, the bases established in the first part of the subject are deepened and the main devices and systems of the body are worked on, both from the anatomical and physiological aspects. Both concepts, presented in an integrated way, promote understanding and place students in an ideal situation for understanding the disease (physiopathology).

It is a basic concept in the work of the nursing professional, ensuring that the person's balance is maintained and/or restored, both physically and psychologically. For this, it is an indispensable condition to know the anatomical and physiological normality, and, based on the same, its dysfunction, the disease.

The gender perspective will be an aspect that the teaching staff will take into account by making an inclusive and non-sexist use of language and promoting the equal participation of everyone in a respectful and inclusive environment both in master classes and in seminar sessions. Female bibliographic references will be provided in the classroom to the extent that the subject allows it and the full first name of the authors will be used. Regarding the images of the content in the teaching material, the non-perpetuation of stereotypes will be encouraged. The different responses in women and men will become visible in terms of the exposure of risk factors underlying the onset of disease, the differences due to sex and gender in the manifestations and experience of the disease. Epidemiological studies have identified differences in the frequency of diseases between sexes, as well as differences in life expectancy; key concepts that will be integrated into the teaching syllabus.

Evaluation system

The assessment system for the skills and learning outcomes of this subject includes different assessment activities for Subject 1 - Anatomo-physiopathology:

Evaluation system

Minimum weighting

Maximum weighting

SE1. Exam

Present in several = 30%

Present in several = 60%

SE2. Individual works

5%

Present in several = 40%

SE3. Teamwork

5%

Present in several = 40%

SE4. Classroom participation

5%

Present in several = 20%

A system of quantitative (from 0 to 10) and qualitative (suspended, approved, notable, excellent, honorary registration) is used according to RD 1125/2003.

The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities means a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.

According to UPF regulations, students who have the option of retrieving the subject are those who have obtained a “suspended” grade, which are the only ones that can be modified in the recovery process.

The evaluation system and recovery period are detailed in the Learning Plan available in the virtual classroom at the beginning of the subject.
