Prerequisites
It is desirable that the student has acquired basic knowledge and skills about the structure and organization of the human body and its cellular systems, as well as basic knowledge of Physics and Chemistry.
Objectives and Contextualisation
The subject Image Diagnosis and Function of Human Body I is programmed during the first half of the first semester of the first year of the Degree of Nursing and develops the knowledge of the physical, physiological and physiopathological bases of the human organism.
The basic learning objectives are:
- To learn the physical bases and basic concepts of the physiology of the different functional systems of the human body in a state of health.
- To acquire a complete and integrated vision of the interrelations of the different systems of the organism.
- To integrate the knowledge of Biophysics and 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 achieve a better understanding of the basic concepts of the effects of the interaction of radiation with living beings and radioprotection.
- To train the student to apply the physiological knowledge in the deduction of the consequences of the diseases.
- To acquire the practical skills in each of the necessary areas for the performance of the most frequent functional studies techniques in the biomedical field.
- To acquire attitudes aimed at the promotion of health and the prevention of disease, oriented to health medicine, and appropriate to the practice based on scientific evidence.
Competences
- Develop critical thinking and reasoning and communicate ideas effectively, both in the mother tongue and in other languages.
- Generate innovative and competitive proposals for research and professional activities.
- Offer technical and professional health care and that this adequate for the health needs of the person being attended, in accordance with the current state of scientific knowledge at any time and levels of quality and safety established under the applicable legal and deontological rules.
- Students must have and understand knowledge of an area of study built on the basis of general secondary education, and while it relies on some advanced textbooks it also includes some aspects coming from the forefront of its field of study.
Learning Outcomes
- Acquire and use the necessary instruments for developing a critical and reflective attitude.
- Analyse differences by sex and gender inequality in ethiology, anatomy, physiology. Pathologies, differential diagnosis, therapeutic options, pharmacological response, prognosis and nursing care.
- Argue with scientific evidence selecting those most suitable nursing care for adequate professional attention to the health needs of people.
- Describe safety measures in the application of radiation.
- Describe the molecular and physiological bases of cell and tissues.
- Identify health needs during the different stages of the life cycle, from the moment of birth to the end of life.
- Identify the physiological functioning of the human body and the homeostatic mechanisms that regulate it.
- Students must have and understand knowledge of an area of study built on the basis of general secondary education, and while it relies on some advanced textbooks it also includes some aspects coming from the forefront of its field of study.

Assessment
The evaluation of the subject will be based on the theoretical and practical syllabus detailed in the guide. The subject is structured in two blocks, Biophysics, which will represent 66.6% of the final grade, and Physiology, which will represent 33.3%, according to the contribution of these two subjects.
The competencies of this subject will be assessed by:
- Continued avaluation:
Partial evaluations will be carried out during the course, for the different sections of the program. The subject is divided into two blocks:
1) Biophysics (66.66% overall)
Partial exam (95% of the mark of the Biophysics part -63.33% of the overall subject-).
The assessment in the midterm exam will consist of an objective test with multiple-choice items, which will assess the knowledge taught in theory classes and classroom and laboratory practices.
Assessment of attendance at laboratory practices and delivery of the internship questionnaire: 5% of the grade for the Biophysics part -3.33% of the overall subject.
2) Physiology (33.33% overall)
The evaluation will consist of:
- Partial examination (75% of the note of the part of Physiology -25% of the global of the overall subject-), by means of objective proofs with items of multiple choice. This exam will assess the understanding and knowledge of the concepts that the student must have acquired in both theoretical and practical classes, as well as in their own self-learning. The result of this test will be 75% of the final mark of Physiology.
- Evaluation of seminars and laboratory practices (25% of the note of the part of Physiology -8.33% of the global of the asignatura-):
- cases and problems worked on in seminars or classroom practices, using questionnaires
- knowledge and practical skills, through questionnaires and tests in the laboratory.
It is necessary to obtain a minimum of 4.0 in the partial exam to be able to incorporate the evaluation mark of seminars and practices.
3) Overall rating
It is an essential requirement to obtain a grade equal to or higher than 4.0 in each of the two written assessments (partial exams) in order to pass the subject.
The grade for the subject will correspond to the weighted average, 66.6% to that obtained in the Biophysics block and 33.3% to that of Physiology.
To pass the course you must obtain a minimum of 5.0 in the final grade.
- Final recovery test:
Students who have not passed the subject by means of the continuous evaluation will be able to present to a final examination of recovery, where the student will only have to present in the blocks that have not surpassed in the continuous evaluation of the same course. academic.
The recovery exam will be performed in all cases with objective tests with multiple choice items from each block.
To pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain a grade equal to or higher than 4.0 in the examination of each of the two blocks. The grade for the subject will correspond to the weighted average, 66.6% to that obtained in the Biophysics block and 33.3% to that of Physiology.
The subject will be considered passed when the final grade is equal to or higher than 5.0.
It will be considered "non-assessable" when there is insufficient evidence to allow an overall assessment of the subject. In order to be able to evaluate the subject in a global way, you must have evaluation results of the two blocks into which it is divided (from the two partial exams and / or the final recovery exam).
