Universitat Internacional de Catalunya - BarcelonaSturcture and Function: Musculoskeletal System
Matter: STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE HUMAN BODY
Main language of instruction: Spanish
Other languages of instruction: Catalan, English
Knowledge about basic mollecular, cellular and chermical terminology
- To know connective and muscular tissue components
- To understand connective and muscular tissue functions and how they do it.
- To learn the general muscular and squeletal human system anatomy.
- To know the physiological processes that lead these tissues achieve their functions.
- To learn about physiological and structural alterations that can lead to disease in humans.
- To identify prinicpal muscles and bones on the musculoskeletal system.
- To recognize research fields to develop on this system.
- To develop analysis and syntesis capacities
- To know how to communicate, how to work in group and how to make oral presentations
- To be able to organiza himself to carry forward the subject.
- To identify more or less importants aspects for his field.
When the course is over, the student:
-He knows connective tissue components, physiology, functions and types
-He knows bone physiology
-He knows the importance and the role of the bone about calcium homeostasis.
-He konws the principals human bones.
-He knows the processes that carry out when a bone fracture or disease occurs.
-He knows the processes that induce the muscle contraction
-He knows the structural and functional differences between muscle types.
-He knows the processes that carry out when a muscle injury occurs.
Part 1. Physiology and structure of the connective tissue.
Part 2. Cartilage tissue
Part 3. Bone tissue
Part 4. Muscular tissue
Part 5. General anatomy of human body
1) Students in first call:
Continuous evaluation: 15%
Work on muscular physiology: 30%
Final exam: 55%
2) Students in second call: same criteria as in the first call.
General points to consider about the evaluation system:
1) In the final exam, a minimum grade of 5 must be obtained in order to be able to average the marks of continuous evaluation and work on muscular physiology.
2) The exams will be of the test type with 5 response options, counting +1 hits and -0.2 errors.
3) Continuous evaluation means the answer to possible questions that the teacher may pose, attitude during class and practices, and resolution of tests to evaluate the methods of the case, for example.
4) Attendance to class: Regular attendance to theory classes, practices and case methods is recommended. Attendance at the master classes is not mandatory, but attendees will have to be governed by the standards indicated by the teachers. The expulsion of a student from a master class, practical class or case method will have a negative impact on the ongoing evaluations. Attendance at case methods is optional, however some percent of the final exam questions will be about the content of these case methods. Attendance at practices is optional and students must attend the assigned groups, however, some percent of the questions on the final exam will be about the content of these practical classes
5) The improper use of electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets or laptops may result in class expulsion. The misuse is the recording and dissemination of both students or teachers during the different lessons as well as the use of these devices for recreational and non-educational purposes
