Class Functional Anatomy I

This curricular unit aims to enable students to understand the organisation of the human body, studying its differential histological constitution and respective functional relationship, as well as understanding the distribution of its organs. It also enables students to observe, describe and correctly use anatomical nomenclature. The systems focused on in the curricular unit are the integumentary, locomotor and nervous systems (and the histological peculiarities in an integrative logic with the digestive and cardiovascular systems), always from a functional perspective. Upon completion of the course, the student must be able to: describe the structure (general and histology) and functions of various organs of the human body;  identify the various tissues and organs of the different systems of the human body;  understand the basic coordination between systems.
