Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2024-25

La asignatura de Anatomía Humana III es una asignatura obligatoria dentro de la rama de conocimiento de ciencias de la salud.
La Anatomía es fundamental para la práctica médica y otras disciplinas de ciencias de la salud, ya que estudia la morfología macroscópica del cuerpo humano, incluyendo sistemas, aparatos, cavidades y regiones. Tener un conocimiento anatómico profundo es esencial para identificar e interpretar patologías y enfermedades en el cuerpo humano y sus sistemas orgánicos. El estudiante debe enfocarse en la observación y visualización, ya que son técnicas primarias para aprender Anatomía y realizar una exploración física adecuada, tanto directa como mediante técnicas de imagen modernas.
El perfil profesional sanitario del médico o la médica requiere la capacidad de desarrollar tareas que beneficien la salud y el bienestar, incluyendo la prevención y tratamiento de enfermedades y la comunicación con otros profesionales de la salud. Para adquirir estas competencias, es esencial establecer conocimientos fundamentales del cuerpo humano, proporcionados por la Anatomía Humana.
La Anatomía Humana, por su carácter básico, está relacionada con otras asignaturas fundamentales del plan de estudios de Medicina, requiriendo una coordinación temporal coherente para asegurar la adquisición de competencias profesionales. Se vincula estrechamente con Fisiología Médica, Biología Celular, Bioquímica y Biología Molecular, formando la base del grado. Además, es esencial para comprender asignaturas obligatorias posteriores, como Anatomía Patológica, que necesitan conocimientos anatómicos previos. Recíprocamente, la comprensión de la Anatomía Humana requiere anticipar conceptos básicos de estas asignaturas, que se desarrollarán en profundidad más adelante.
El estudio de la Anatomía Humana se llevará a cabo en 4 asignaturas de 6 créditos ECTS cada una distribuidas en 2 años académicos, estando Anatomía Humana III centrada principalmente en el estudio del sistema nervioso y endocrino.

Learning outcomes (Training objectives)

Describe and explain the morphological components of the endocrine and nervous systems and sensory organs. Identify, locate and relate the structures that make up each of the organ systems, as well as the corresponding vascular and nervous elements, by means of macroscopic study of observation and palpation on the surface, dissection and imaging techniques. Understand and interpret the changes in the different organs, individually and throughout life, related to their function and alterations, being of interest for clinical application and research. Acquire and use anatomical and anatomo-clinical terminology for correct communication.
