Most medical procedures are referred to a specific localization, organ, tissue, system, therefore human Anatomy knowledge is a necessary tool for clinical medicine, and its relationship with physiology and pathology, provides mechanisms to understand health and disease. Medicine / Morphology, structure and function of the human body/anatomy: locomotor & nervous systems. /

2 INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE This course is focused on human Anatomy, and more specifically on locomotor and nervous systems. The importance of this subject lies on that the acquisition of the competences of this course will be the basis that will enable students to understand the Anatomy of other systems and the pathophysiology, that will be taught in more advanced courses. PRE-REQUISITES Previous knowledge of general biology (Health Sciences Bachelor or similar) and general physiology. Similarly, to understand the processes and functions in living organisms, we must know how it works, so the study of Anatomy should be accompanied by the study of physiology. COURSE OBJECTIVES The specific objectives in the training of physicians are aimed at training professionals that have to be able to carry out activities oriented to the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health, through: - The prevention of disease, considering the social environment in which they originate. - The diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients. - The knowledge of the diseases prognosis. Particularly, the goal of this Anatomy course is to understand the locomotor and nervous system to get the tools for medical practice in all previous referred activities. GENERAL AND SPECIFIC SKILLS OFFERED BY THE COURSE General Skills (RD1393) General Skill 1 Knowledge Acquisition Students will gain specific knowledge relating to the locomotor and nervous system anatomy. General Skill 2 Application of Knowledge Students have to transfer theoretical concepts to three-dimensional human structure. Correlations between structure and function are of special interest in this area. General Skill 3 Collect and Interpret and Analyse Relevant Data Students will gain the ability to gather and interpret relevant data. Clinical issues are analysed. General Skill 4 Communication Students will gain the opportunity to improve their communication skills via public exposition in seminars of concepts learned. General Skill 5-Independent Learning Students will be required to develop learning skills necessary to undertake in depth, detailed studies with a high degree of autonomy Specific Skills Students taking this course will be able to understand the locomotor and integrative neuroanatomy. Learning outcomes. - To explain and to describe the locomotor and integrative neuroanatomy - To recognize the basic Functional Anatomy of lower, upper limb and nervous system COURSE CONTENTS Study of the locomotor and integrative neuroanatomy. Medicine / Morphology, structure and function of the human body/anatomy: locomotor & nervous systems. /

3 COURSE STRUCTURE AND DESIGN 1. Lectures (PA1): Training activity oriented mainly to knowledge acquisition (General Skill 1) and presentation of subject theory material. 2. Seminars (PA2): The seminars will seek to build and develop the concepts raised in the classroom, in an open and collaborative environment (General Skills 2 and 3). Oral presentation of the students. Group activities: group work sessions supervised by the teacher. Clinical Case Discussions based on Anatomical knowledge. 3. Practices (PA4): Training activity oriented mainly to develop the skill of knowledge transfer or application (General Skill 2) and is presented in the form of practical activities, including the study of anatomy based on real specimens and dissections.

THIEME OTHER SUPPORT MATERIALS Pubmed: RECOMMENDATIONS TO STUDENTS TAKING THIS COURSE It is essential to study the subject every day and regularly perform a general review of all content taught during the week and try to answer the essential concepts listed at the end of each topic. It is very important to attend all classes (lectures, practices and seminars). It is recommended that, whenever possible, the students read prior to exposure the content of the classes. It is also recommended an active attitude during the development of classes participating and raising possible questions. Students may also clarify their questions using hours of tutoring from teachers, or contacting with the teacher through internet. It is suggested to comply with continuous assessment, not as a requirement, but as a recommendation to acquire basic and general skills. The student will follow the Guidelines for Coexistence in the Classroom approved by the Faculty of Health Sciences". Research Repercussion. For basic sciences such as physiology and anatomy, the research activity is comparable to the welfare work that can make a healthcare professional who teaches a clinical course. The research that professors carries throughout their life allow them to understand various physiological and anatomical basic concepts such as changes in cell membrane potential, ion channels function in cellular processes, modulation of the synapse, tissue types, electrical activity of the different muscles in different movements, etc., even when these same mechanisms exceed their function and give rise to a pathology. In summary, the research allows professors to teach the students not just a summary compilation of theoretical concepts, but a real vision of the functions of the different human body systems. Medicine / Morphology, structure and function of the human body/anatomy: locomotor & nervous systems. /

8 Research Repercussion. This also allows professors to anticipate the more common questions or problems of the student. When possible, the application of the scientific method in teaching, may help the student to develop key cognitive skills (memory and thinking abilities), without which the student will not be fully trained for their future career. Research activities have also allowed us to design some practices based on our own experience. Professional activity Repercussion. Given the importance of individual health and disease prevention at the community, medical schools have rethought its mission to ensure the training of professionals. This mission is not only aimed at treating the disease, but also at preventing diseases and at the maintenance of health. Understood in this way the teaching of Anatomy becomes of decisive importance, in addition to its classical function as a basic science.
