This is a BASIC BRANCH subject that is taught in the first four-month period of the first year of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing.



It is included in the module M01 COMMON BASIC TRAINING, and its objective is to achieve the competency M01CM01, along with the subjects “Structure and function of the human body II” and “Structure and function of the human body III”.



Competency M01CM01 says as follows: "Know and identify the structure and function of the human body. Understand the molecular and physiological basis of cells and tissues."



In this course, the students will examine the phases of human embryonic development, and will analyze the structure of the human body at the cellular, histological, organic, and anatomical system levels.



The competencies developed in this basic subject will be useful to acquire the competencies of other subjects of the degree, especially those related to physiology, physiopathology, and nursing care.



To be able to adequately develop the subject “Structure and function of the human body I”, it is necessary to have basic knowledge about cytology, histology and human anatomy, aspects that are studied in pre-university levels.



For the future profession, a solid knowledge of the structure of the human body will be necessary in order to carry out correctly nursing diagnostics and procedures.

The specific competencies (SC) to be achieved are:



SC1. To differentiate the components of the typical eukaryotic cell and tissues that make up the structure of the human body.

SC2. To distinguish the stages of human embryonic development.

SC3. To examine the normal morphology and topography of the organs that constitute the different anatomical systems.

UNIT 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN BODY

1.1. Levels of structural organization.

1.2. Anatomical position and directional terms.

1.3. Body plans and sections.

1.4. Body cavities and regions.



UNIT 2: CYTOLOGY AND GENERAL HISTOLOGY

UNIT 3: GENERAL HUMAN EMBRYOLOGY

3.1. First week of development. Fertilization. Segmentation of the zygote. Blastocyst formation.

Implantation.

3.2. Second week of development. Development of the bilaminar germinative disc. Development of the trophoblast. Development of the amnion. Development of the yolk sac. Development of the sinusoids. Development of the extraembryonic coelom or chorionic cavity.

3.3. Third week of development. Development of the trilaminar germinative disc. Gastrulation. Formation of the notochord. Development of the intraembryonic coelom. Development of the chorionic villi.

3.4. From the fourth to the eighth week of development, or embryonic period. Organogenesis. Derivatives of the germinative ectodermal, endodermal and mesodermal leave



UNIT 4: HUMAN ANATOMY

4.1. Anatomy of the systems related to support and movement functions: integumentary system and musculoskeletal system.

4.2. Anatomy of the systems related to communication, control and integration functions: nervous system, sensory organs and endocrine system.

4.3. Anatomy of the systems related to the transport and defense functions: cardiovascular system and lymphatic system.

4.4. Anatomy of the systems related to the functions of respiration, digestion, excretion and reproduction: respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system and reproductive system.

Different methodologies will be used in this course.



Classroom activities will be lecture-based classes, seminars and laboratory practices. The non-face-to-face activities include personal learning and tutorials with the teacher.



LECTURE-BASED CLASSES:



They will consist on the transmission of knowledge by the teacher, with the support of

images of the structure of the human body projected on the screen. At the same time, students will complete the coloring book. In addition, several videos/documentaries related to the subject will be viewed. The teacher will promote student participation by asking questions. At the end of the classe, he/she will answer the questions posed by the students.



SEMINARS:



The students, individually and in groups, will mainly carry out exercises to identify structures in

images. Also, they will carry out team work to deepen the contents on human anatomy.



LABORATORY PRACTICES:



Students, in small groups, will mainly perform exercises to identify structures in histological and anatomical models. In addition, they will use the optical microscope for the observation of cells and tissues.



ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM:



The student will have to carry out a PERSONAL STUDY in order to analyze, synthesize and assimilate the concepts worked on in the classroom. This study will be essential to be able to correctly perform the tasks proposed in the laboratory practices, seminars and exams.



The student will be able to make TUTORIALS with the teacher to clarify doubts. During the same, in addition, it will be carried out the revision of the exercises of the seminars and practices, and the opportune clarifications will be offered.

• Continuous Assessment System
• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 50
  • Short and/or multiple choice questions (%): 50

In accordance with the Protocol on academic ethics and prevention of dishonest or fraudulent practices in the evaluation tests and academic works of the UPV/EHU, on the first day of class, in the presentation of the student's guide, the teaching staff will describe as concretely and clearly as possible, the materials, means and resources (technological or otherwise) whose use is allowed in the development of the evaluation tests of the subject.



In the ordinary call there will be two evaluation systems, the continuous evaluation and the end-of-course evaluation.



THE CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SYSTEM:



An evaluation by competencies will be carried out, with the following weighting:



SC1: 15% (Practical exercises 15%).

SC2: 5% (Practical exercises 5%)

SC3: 80% (Practical exercises 30%, written test with short and/or multiple choice questions 50%).



In order to be able to carry out the continuous evaluation, it will be mandatory to attend the seminars and laboratory practices, since practical exercises will be carried out and handed in. The contents, dates, characteristics of the tools that will be used for the evaluation and their weighted values will be detailed in the agenda-chronogram and in the student's guide.



The written test will take place on the official examination date.



The following are essential requirements to pass the course:

1. To pass the written test.

2. Passing all the competencies.



If one or more competencies are not passed or the written test is not passed, it will given the lowest grade obtained in the failed competency(ies) or in the written test not passed.



THE END-OF-COURSE EVALUATION SYSTEM:



Students may be evaluated by means of the end-of-course evaluation system, regardless of whether or not they have participated in the continuous evaluation system. To this end, students must submit a written opt-out to the course teaching staff. The deadline for submitting this request is November 8th.



The end-of-course evaluation will be carried out through the assessment of an individual test, which will take place during the official examination period, with the following weighting by competencies:



SC1: 15% (Practical exercises 15%).

SC2: 5% (Practical exercises 5%)

SC3: 80% (Practical exercises 30%, written test with short and/or multiple choice questions 50%).



The following are essential requirements to pass the course:

1. To pass the written test.

2. Passing all the competencies.



If one or more competencies are not passed or the written test is not passed, it will given the lowest grade obtained in the failed competency(ies) or in the written test not passed.



RESIGNATION TO THE CALL:



The resignation to the call will result in the qualification of “not presented”.



Failure to appear for the test set on the official exam date will result in the automatic resignation to the call.

THE END-OF-COURSE EVALUATION SYSTEM:



The evaluation of the subject in the extraordinary call will be carried out exclusively through the end-of-course evaluation system.



The grade of those competencies that have been approved in the ordinary call will be kept to the students who so request. In addition, to the students who have opted for the continuous evaluation system in the ordinary call, the grade of the work approved throughout the formative period will be kept.



RESIGNATION TO THE CALL:



The resignation to the call will result in the qualification of “not presented".



Failure to appear for the test set on the official exam date will result in the automatic resignation to the call.
