It is desirable that the student has acquired basic knowledge and competences on the structure and organization of the human body and its cellular systems.
It is important that the student has acquired the basic knowledge and competences of the course Histology and General Physiology.
To be able to attend the sessions of laboratory practices, the student must justify having passed the biosafety and security tests that will be found in the Virtual Campus and be knowledgeable and accept the operating regulations of the laboratories of the Faculty of Biosciences.
The subject Physiology of Systems is programmed during the second course of the Degree in Biomedical Sciences and develops the knowledge of the normal functioning of the following systems of the human organism: blood and haematopoietic organs, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, excretory system and body fluids, digestive system, endocrine system and reproductive system.
The acquisition of the basic competences of the subject will allow the student to confront with a sufficient base the study of the physiopathology and the understanding of the mechanisms of diseases that affect the diverse systems of the human organism during the following courses.
The general training objectives of the subject are:
Learn the basic concepts of Physiology of the different functional systems of the human body in a state of health.
Acquire a complete and integrated vision of the interrelations of the different systems of the organism.
Integrate the knowledge of Physiology with those acquired in other basic subjects, which deal with the structure and the cellular and molecular aspects of the organism, in order to achieve a global vision of the functioning of the human body.
To train the student to apply the physiological knowledge in the deduction of the consequences of the pathological alterations of the human organism.
Acquire the practical skills necessary to carry out techniques of frequent functional studies in the biomedical field
Theoretical classes:
Systemized exhibition of the subject's agenda, giving relevance to the most important concepts. The student acquires the basic scientific knowledge of the subject attending classes of theory, which will complement the personal study of the exposed subjects.
classroom practices:
Presentation and work on cases or problems of relevance to the learning of the subject. The knowledge acquired in the theory classes and in the personal study apply to the resolution of practical cases that are posed in the seminars. Students work in small groups.
Practical classes:
Practical sessions for the observation and realization of procedures, the practical learning of physiological techniques. It promotes group work and active self-learning.
THE PROPOSED TEACHING METHODOLOGY MAY EXPERIENCE SOME MODIFICATIONS DEPENDING ON THE RESTRICTIONS TO FACE-TO-FACE ACTIVITIES ENFORCED BY HELATH AUTHORITIES
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Evaluation
The competences of this subject will be evaluated by means of:
- Assessment of theoretical knowledge through objective test exams. In some aspects of the program, the ability to solve and describe, through written development questions (70% of the final grade)
There will be three partial assessments of the subject, and the weight of each one's note will be, in the final result of the theoretical evaluation, proportional to the number of classes taught. It is necessary to obtain a qualification equal to or greater than 5 in each theoretical partial block to consider that part as achieved. The examination of recovery will allow to recover only the suspended theoretical knowledge part.
Students who want to change the final grade may do so by presenting themselves to a synthesis test for the entire subject.
- Evaluation of the preparation and presentations of the problems and cases and of works carried out (15% of the final note). The seminar note (15% of the final grade of the subject) will be calculated equal for all students (whether or not repeaters). The non-completion of a particular seminar implies a rating of 0.0 for the activity in question.
- Evaluation of practical knowledge, through results and questionnaires of laboratory practices (5%) and exams of practical contents (10% of the final mark). In order to be able to attend the sessions of laboratory practices, the student must justify having passed the biosafety and security tests that he will find in the Virtual Campus and be knowledgeable and accept the rules of operation of the laboratories of the Faculty of Biosciences.
Practical notes, as well as problems and cases, can not be retrieved or modified later. It is VERY IMPORTANT to get a good qualification in practice and seminars or classroom practices since they can suspend the subject even though the theoretical part is approved.
It will be considered "non-evaluable" when the number of evaluation activities carried out is less than 50% of the programmed activities.
- Repeater students: no note / qualification will be saved from one course to the next. The repetitive students can resign to the realization of the practical sessions. In this case, they will have to examine the practices, like the rest of the students, and the mark obtained in the exam will represent their final qualification of practices (15%). The seminar note (15% of the final mark of the subject) for repeaters that explicitly renounce seminars will not be taken into account, the final grade will be calculated in 85% of teoira and 15% practice. The non-completion of a private seminar implies a rating of 0.0 for the activity in question, unless there is a justified reason.
"To participate in the recovery, the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight equals to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject or module. Therefore, Students will obtain the "Non-Appraising" qualification when the evaluation activities carried out have a weighting of less than 67% in the final grade. "
