There are no official prerequisits. However, a basic knowledge of Cell Biology and Histology of tissues is recommended.
This is an obligatory subject in the 2n year, concerning the cellular and tissue bases of human organs and systems. It has been designed assuming students have a basic knowledge of Histology and Physiology that will facilitate they acquire a comprehensive understanding and an integrated approach to the organization of human organs.
The subject gives the basic knowledge to undertand the subject of Anatomy of pathology next year.
The main goals of the subject are:
a) Understand the cellular and tissular organization of the different organs and systems of the human body.
b) Recognize and identify at the microscopic level the different organs and systems of the human body.
c) Relate the tissular composition of the organs with their function.

Histology of Systems includes lectures and seminars.
Lectures
The subjects of teaching units will be taught in 38 sessions. The objective of these lectures is to help the students to reach the objective for each thematic subject. During the classes, the teacher will do a brief introduction of the subject and then will discuss with the students the difficulties they found preparing the specific objectives.
Seminars
The scheduled seminars are designed in order for to students work in small groups to acquire teamwork and critical thinking skills. Students will be divided into working groups for a specific program topic, followed by collective discussion. The organization of the groups and the distribution of topics to be discussed will take place during the seminars.
classroom.
Seminar attendance is mandatory.
Tutorials
Tutoring will be done personally in the professor's office (times to be arranged). Tutorials should be used to clarify concepts and consolidate the knowledge acquired by the personal work of the student. They can also be useful to answer questions that students may have about the preparation of seminars.
The material in the Virtual Campus
In the Virtual Campus, the students could communicate with the teacher and they will find:
1) The objectives of each thematic subject.
2) All the material for the lectures and seminars
3) The convocation of the exam and the marks
4) A specific forum to solve questions.
Bibliography
It is recommendable to consult specifics books and other material in the internet. It is important to distinguish between a textbook, which help to reach the knowledge objectives and an image atlas that will help to reach the objectives of structure identification.
* All the described methodology would be modified or altered due to the sanitary crisis derived from the Covid-19.

The evaluation will have two parts:
• an exam test with three subtests: basic knowledge, image recognition and case recognition. We will have two partials.
• continued evaluation due during the seminars.
To pass the subject, the final mark should be equal to or above 5.
The calculation of the final mark will be done by adding up the mark in the test exam (80%) and the marks in the continued evaluation (20%).
1.- Exam test.
it will be mandatory to pass this exam with a mark equal to or above 5.
The student will have around 120 min. to answer all the questions proposed.
The value of each question and its penalty will be indicated in the exam.
It will be not allowed to use printed material, electronic devices, such as computers or cell phones, etc...
- Subtest of basic knowledge.
En this subtest, the student will have questions (true/false) in which the basic knowledge of the subject will be evaluated.
- Subtest of image recognition.
En this subtest, the student will identify the organ, tissue, specific cell types, or structures.
- Subtest of case resolution.
This test will consist of a test based on multiple-choice questions (5 possible answers and just one correct) with cases similar to the worked on the seminars, with the objective to evaluate the integration of the knowledge acquired.
En the case the exam test will not pass in the partial exams, the student will have the opportunity to be examined again in the final exam proposed in the calendar.
2.- Continued evaluation.
During the seminars, the students will be evaluated with different questions regarding the field studied in the specific seminar.
It should be take into an accoun the l'article 112 ter. Del títol IV: "Per poderparticipar en la recuperació l'alumnat ha d'haver estat prèviament avaluat enun conjunt d'activitats el pes de les quals sigui equivalent a un mínim de dues terceres parts dela qualificació total de l'assignatura".
The exams that present defects (lack of permutation, lack of NIU or name, imprecise marking in the answer sheet, etc) will not be corrected.
Those students that not perform the test exam will not be evaluated.
* All this evaluating system could be modified due to the sanitary crisis of the Covid-19.
