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.

The competences of this subject will be assessed through continuous assessment, which will include individual tests of theoretical and practical knowledge and seminars conducted in groups.
The evaluation system is organized in three sections, each of which is evaluated independently and will be assigned a specific weight in the final grade of the subject:
Written exams (80% of the overall mark): In this section, the knowledge acquired by each student is assessed individually with test-type exams. There will be two partial tests, eliminatory of subject, along the course and a final test of recovery (see programming of the asignatura).
Students who have obtained a grade lower than 4 (out of 10) in any of these tests will not be able to weigh it with the mark obtained in the seminars and, therefore, will have to take the resit exam in the maturity test. final.
Seminars (20% of the overall grade). This section assesses the ability of students in each group to analyze and synthesize, as well as the skills of group work and oral presentation.
The seminars will be valued as follows:
Written work
50%
The teacher evaluates (out of 10) the works submitted by each group of students (see submissions)
Oral presentation
20%
The teacher evaluates (out of 10) the skills of each group of students in the public presentation of their work
Inter-group qualification
15%
Each group of students evaluates (out of 10) the groups that make the oral presentation of the work
Intra-group qualification
15%
Within each group, each student evaluates (out of 10) their classmates in the last seminar
TOTAL
100%
Attendance at seminars ismandatory. In case of not attending any of the sessions, for unjustified reason, there will be a penalty in the final qualification of the seminars:
Absence 1 session = 20% reduction of the grade.
Absence 2 sessions = 40% reduction of the grade.
Absence 3 sessions = 80% reduction of the grade.
* All this evaluation system described can be modified or altered due to the health crisis generated by Covid-19.
